Vine Stairwork
Tell Len about your projectFrom the brief to the built work.
- The challenge
- This study explores how an ornamental vine pattern can be composed into a railing section.
- Breuder’s work
- Breuder forged separate stems, leaves, and clusters, then fitted and assembled the steel elements.
- The result
- Detail and archive views show the forged section, its assembly, and the pattern at stair scale.
Vine Stairwork is presented as a hand-forged study with supporting archive views, rather than a fully documented named commission. The focus is how stems, leaves, and grape clusters become a repeatable railing pattern.
Breuder forged the elements separately, then fitted and assembled them into steel sections. The close photographs show the leaves, stems, joins, and changes in pattern.
The archive views add a wider stair view and shop assembly. They show how the separate forged details come together in a larger pattern.
