Seattle Stair & Design is pleased to announce that we have been awarded “Best Straight Stair” at the 2012 Stairway Manufacturers’ Association (SMA) StairCraft Awards.
This recognition is particularly exciting for the staff and craftsmen at Seattle Stair & Design, as it is our fifth-consecutive award at the national, peer-judged Stair and Stair Railing design competition.
The chosen staircase, which was selected and judged for its “aesthetics, stair safety, quality, workmanship, and technical challenge,” is a Brazilian cherry hardwood structure with anigre highlights embellished with forged iron—jewelry in a form that is both craftsman and contemporary.
For a detailed view of the design and construction process of the staircase from conception to completion, please view our Case Study Video.

I watched this stair being built in the shop. It was delightful to see the care and craftsmanship my colleagues put into this project and I was excited to make a site visit to photograph the installed piece. It really creates a dynamic flow between the two levels of the house with it's graceful floating lines. Kudos to the design team. I'm glad my photographs facilitated the presentation of this project to the SMA and am proud to work with an organization of such calibre as Seattle Stair and Design.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the award. I really like the trick work you did. Yes this is a design that changes the entry way and is not a stairway, but a piece of furniture.
