Stair rails have an obvious safety role but also a strong aesthetic presence. Here are some examples that go above and beyond the typical wood balusters.
| This rail reads as sculpture rather than a wall by the subtle curvature at the base. |
| A curved wood rail lit from above elevates this plywood stair. |
| Leather balusters keep this rail tactile. |
| A tinted glass rail plays with solid vs. translucent allowing the stair to feel like a single mass but also staying light. |
A floating steel rail guides the eye upstairs.

Evoking rhythm of steps, this string rail creates a visual separation for the stair.
