Context Behind the Staircase

The spiral staircase is designed to allow movement from the jewellery work shop (above ground) to the show room (ground level) and is a visual representation of the idea bringing the 'small' down to the 'large'. The increase in stair tread diameter during the decent of the staircase represents the event of bringing the completed, intricate jewellery made in the workshop down to the larger show-room space, where an idea that began small from the workshop for a small piece of jewellery (hence a small stair tread) leads to a larger audience in which it will be available to the buyer (hence the larger stair tread at the bottom). The staircase railing in itself is a representation of the geodetic design of the earrings, in with the rail bars concave outwards to represent the dome-like structure in a ribbon like manner, again symbolising the intricacy of the jewellery.
