Eva Jiricna’s Stair Flair

We like a bit of staircase porn here at Winging It, even if the staircase in question is attached to a property that’s, well, just a few zillion quid beyond our budget.

And when it comes to statement staircases, there aren’t many who can match Eva Jiricna’s sinuous steel and glass creations.

Jiricna, an architect who’s made interior spaces her speciality, somehow manages to combine aesthetics with engineering, industrial heft with imaginative fancy.

Her staircases have a formal sculptural quality but they also sweep and flow. They’re delicate, but also solidly functional.

It’s a fine balancing act, and one she’s made her signature theme. She’s even written a book on the subject:  Staircases.

Wonder if there’s a chapter in there about getting up a glass staircase in a pair of slippy socks after a couple of shots of vodka?

Check out the whole property (£8,750,000, Knight Frank, Tel: 0843 2818 129)

And while we’re on the subject of stairs, here are two fantastic designs, and one that will quite possibly give you nightmares.
