Staircase lighting: Turning an architectural constraint into a spatial experience

In this exceptional villa, the central staircase occupies a strategic position. (watch the video tour)

The bespoke MOZAIK installation descends nearly eight metres in height. Comprising four panels and a total of 110 modules, it forms a genuine cascade of light that fills the void without ever obstructing it.

The repetition of the modules creates a visual rhythm visible from every level of the house, whilst the transparency of the composition preserves the architectural fluidity of the space.

Here, the light fitting becomes a sculptural work on the scale of the building, creating a visual link between the floors.

The same principle can be seen in the Riverpark villas, but on an even more spectacular scale. Extending nearly eleven metres in height, the MOZAIK panels accompany the four levels of vertical circulation.

The copper modules complement the interior finishes and create a distinctive lighting feature visible from every floor. The experience is particularly striking from the glazed lift that passes through the installation.

Light no longer simply occupies the void: it gives it a presence.

At the headquarters of Collinet Sièges et Mobilier, the challenge was not monumentality but balance.

The 11 Mixed Reef chandelier spans nearly four metres in height in the central area of the quarter-turn stairwell.

Through precise work on the offsets and different heights of the suspended lampshades, the lighting composition structures the volume with great lightness.

The installation naturally guides the eye and transforms a simple circulation void into a genuine architectural space.

Beneath a spectacular pyramidal glass roof, the helical stairwell at Atik Résidences headquarters presents a particularly interesting geometric challenge.

The bespoke Reef chandelier was designed as a vertical axis around which the staircase appears to wind.

The eleven Reef lampshades arranged at different heights guide the eye from the ground floor to the upper levels.

The composition becomes a permanent landmark in the reading of the space.

At a more domestic scale, le 6 Mixte Tower chandelier demonstrates another aspect of bespoke design.

The dimensions of the stairwell required the lampshades to be arranged precisely across the available height. The design was therefore specially devised to complement the vertical movement whilst maintaining proportions perfectly suited to the space.

A demonstration that bespoke design is not only about creating spectacular installations, but also about finding the right scale.

This contemporary residential project takes a more contemplative approach to lighting. Here, there is no need to focus on a spectacular central space: the light accompanies movement in a more intimate way.

Arranged at different heights around the staircase, the Reef pendants evoke a swarm of organic forms suspended in mid-air.

This scenography transforms this circulation space into a sensory experience in which light accompanies movement with subtlety, its perception changing according to the viewpoint.

Here lighting contributes to creating emotion, rhythm and atmosphere. A more poetic way of guiding the eye and inhabiting movement.

The former lift shaft located at the centre of the staircase made it impossible to install a traditional chandelier. Rather than considering this configuration a limitation, the project involved extensively deconstructing the standard Nuage chandelier composition.

The lampshades have been placed beneath the flights of stairs, in the corridors and on the landings on each floor.

Light thus accompanies the entire journey and transforms a technical constraint into an architectural statement.

In this staircase, rich in authentic character, the 10 Grand Nuage chandelier was entirely redesigned as an ascending spiral.

Its composition naturally follows the ascent whilst engaging with the château's rich decorative character. The choice of two distinct textile finishes reinforces this dialogue between heritage and contemporary design.

Light highlights history without freezing it in time.

At the heart of a stone spiral staircase, the monumental 18 Fleur de Kaolin chandelier creates a rain of light made up of Limoges porcelain shades.

The delicacy of the materials contrasts with the mineral texture of the walls.

The installation follows the verticality of the volume whilst bringing an extremely refined contemporary presence.

In this hotel inspired by the great transatlantic liners of the 1930s, the bespoke 14 Grand Tower chandelier naturally extends the project's Art Deco spirit

Its vertical composition follows the staircase's grand proportions whilst reinterpreting the architectural codes of the period.

The light fitting seems as though it has always belonged to the space.
