Thin Metal Stair Railings

13 photos

A thin metal railing guards a stair while barely drawing a line across it, which keeps the treads and the wall behind in view. Two finishes are worth comparing: black, on stone steps and oak floors, where it sketches the stair's outline, and white beside pale timber, where it nearly disappears. Above some landings the ceilings slant under skylights.
