Stair Art

My design is based on hidden rooms/passages, in a modern designer way involving the staircase. When the stairs are folded up against the wall it looks like one large piece or art work. Simply with the push of a button the panels fold down in a wave like motion and slide back into the wall for extra strength to expose a staircase. Behind each panel that contribute to the art work is a hidden shelf or window. With ‘Stair Art’ when folded up it creates a sleek look about the living area and provides a tidy way to fold over or cover without the typical door.
