This striking contemporary staircase pairs dark-stained wood treads with white-painted monumental stringers for bold visual contrast. Stainless steel posts support a sleek horizontal cable railing system, topped with a dark-stained modern handrail that echoes the tread color. The open-riser design combined with the minimal cable railing creates an unobstructed, light-filled effect that keeps the space feeling open and functional. The interplay between dark wood, white stringers, and metallic elements transforms a simple vertical connection into an elegant architectural statement. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

This open-riser staircase brings modern sophistication to this home. Floating treads create visual lightness, allowing natural light to flow freely through the space. A frameless glass railing maintains transparency and preserves sightlines, while sleek black handrails provide definition against white stairs and walls. The combination of glass, metal, and wood creates a clean, contemporary aesthetic that suits the spacious, light-filled interiors of this modern home. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

This innovative three-story staircase showcases engineering and design in perfect harmony. Each level cantilevers from two central spine beams, creating a floating effect that spans the entire vertical space. Thick dark-stained oak treads appear to hover without visible support, while the absence of risers maintains complete transparency. The defining feature is the glass landings at each level. Combined with the open-riser design, these transparent platforms allow natural light to cascade freely through the stairwell and into adjacent living areas. The result is an ultra-modern staircase that transforms vertical circulation into a study of light and space. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company
