Things are looking up!

Stairs are one of the most difficult elements to design because of the level of detail required. They are a means of emergency egress. There are codes and safety factors to take into consideration when laying them out. They’re also a showpiece to the entrance of our headquarters. Many heads came together, and also several companies worked together to lay out the space and design. From structural engineering to maintain the open design, to custom-designed and manufactured hardware and hand crafted glass panels; these stairs (still under construction) are stunning!

The urban and monochromatic theme reinforces the design phrase; less is more.

Lumicor's Recycled Glass panels are embedded with glass aggregate that is 98%-100% recycled post-industrial content or post-consumer content. 
Add sparkle to your next design while maintaining high environmental standards.
