The client wanted a rustic industrial look for their office entry. So working with their architects we designed a mono-stringer staircase with open risers and an Ithaca Style cable railing system. The stair treads are made of reclaimed padauk that once served as support beams in a factory. The steel used for the cable railing and stair stringer has a clear matte coating. This matte finish protects the metal while preserving the natural look of the steel straight from the mill.
