STAFFORDSHIRE

This is a beautiful winged staircase project in Staffordshire.

Crafted from French Anstrude limestone, the identical flights on both sides showcase the stones nice texture and graining.

The shaped underside of the tread is called a ‘modillion’ profile - a detail rooted in classical architecture that adds elegance, depth, and timeless character to the design.

WEST LONDON

This incredible free standing staircase was created for a quirky office in West London.

The post tensioned staircase is supported by a hidden cable that runs through the solid stone treads which are then tensioned after install and hold the stair in position.

These type of stairs are very technical projects that require a high level of engineering and work to achieve the end result, due to their free-standing nature they have to be built on a temporary structure - in this case it was a wall that was removed after installation.

Here is another stone sourcing visit, this time to Portugal.

Unlike the mountainous quarries of Carrara, these quarries are set in more gentle landscapes.

We often source a lot of limestone in Portugal for our projects and here we are looking to procure consistent high quality material for a staircase project.

We often source specialist marble requirements personally to ensure the best quality always.

Here are a few photos of our trip to Carrara in Italy, which has a huge scale of marble extraction with the jagged Apuan Alps providing a diverse range of beautiful marbles.

We were sourcing Carrara Bianco for a staircase and fireplace project, also great to see a JCB, a Staffordshire brand, in use too!

The staircase may take centre stage, but it’s the details beneath it that complete the story.

Whether it's an English rose delicately carved or a unique tread depth, the precision throughout is impeccable and impressive.

Carved entirely from a single block of Arabescato marble, sourced from the legendary quarries of Carrara in Tuscany, this extraordinary cabinet marks a world-first in marble furniture making.

What makes the piece truly unique is its seamless marble grain-flowing uninterrupted across every surface, wrapping the cabinet in natural artistry. This flawless continuity has taken over five years of design, planning, and precision engineering to achieve.

Now on permanent display at the Chelsea Harbour Design Emporium Collective.

The balustrade is more than a finishing touch, it’s the details that adds personality to the staircase.

Bold or understated, modern or timeless, every line and curve shapes the story of the space around it.

At Ian Knapper we know that every detail counts to make a beautiful, finished piece.
