Sexy Stairs

Gianni Cavaler had a dream. He had a dream of reinventing the utilitarian stair into one of design significance - to each his own, right? He followed that dream and his Italian company - because all sexy products come from Italy -  Edilco has done just that. They started with precast concrete and were able to create a single element that includes tread, riser, and in the design below even the balustrade. All the concrete designs are even self supporting via the "inner spiral well."

In the 80's they started looking at other materials including metal and glass...

And have experimented with other things such as plexiglass and
fiberglass and other shapes such as DNA...
That has got to defy a handful of codes.
