Like a sense of risk with every step you take? With every breath you take, we'll be watching you enjoy the sensation of walking on air with Bernstein Architecture's Floating Stairs system. Constructed with a system of cables that supposedly neither sway or vibrate, this wonder of engineering is like having your very own suspension bridge inside the home.
There isn't a single building inspector in the world that would pass this staircase. The company making this should be putting out disclaimers to this effect.

maybe photographed in a more interesting or industrial space, this might look a bit better.

i don't think this is very child friendly.

I like this! If you can build a suspension bridge, a suspension staircase isn't a stretch at all.
The main downside of this design (for me at least) is that there is no space for a coat closet/catch-all storage space. Or a space for Harry Potter to while away his summers.

yep, makes you wonder where this Bernstein's architecture system is based--no doubt in the "land of inspecters who look the other way", perhaps Mexico or Thailand... Are those threads supposed to function as railings?

How warped am I thinking this would fit perfectly with the decor in your friendly neighborhood San Fernando Valley S&M Dungeon?

If you click through the stair photos, it's installed in a design firm's office in Chicago, so either building inspectors will pass it, or graft and corruption still have their place in Chi-town.
