The hoops, loops and curves of these simple but effective forged
steel stair
rails are scattered randomly throughout the
panels to give them a playful and lively appearance.
The spindles were made by first flattening the steel bars in their middle,
then hammering this flattened section around a ball shaped mandrel
and then randomly twisting the bars. This was all done by hand and
so no two spindles are the same. Forging the steel gave the metal an attractive and expressive surface
texture,
the tones of which were enhanced by its
waxed finish.
