Design trap Ghost, a hard glass staircase with wooden steps for Eestairs. Why can’t a staircase hang instead of standing. Let the staircase floating like a ghost in the room. And also, the user is a moving shadow through the layers of glass. The starting point for the design is a spectacular and beautiful staircase which generates wonder and amazement by the user. The trap floats in the space and gives a surreal image. The staircase hangs at the ceiling rather than, as usual, standing on the floor. It’s designed from wide to narrow and invites you to go upstairs. The first time you must pass a border to enter the stairscase because the glass construction seems fragile.
