Monochromatic Stairwells

14 photos

Keep a stairwell to one colour and the eye stops counting parts and sees the shape: treads, walls and balustrade merge into a single form. These monochromatic stairs run from grey stone and dark wood treads to white perforated metal and a matte pink flight. The handrail becomes the one line left to draw, black against smooth white walls or slim in yellow metal.
