What is Cells? Cells™ stairs, an exclusive innovation by EeStairs, combine art and geometry in an elegant and unexpected way. The organic open weave design of Cells™ steel balustrades are derived from computergenerated Voroni tessellations, which form a flowing ‘weave’ of laser-cut steel cells. As a result, no two Cells™ balustrades are the same, guaranteeing that every Cells™ staircase is unique. And the balustrades form a strong integrated structure with stringers, treads, or floor edges. Designers can choose the density and shape of the cells – for example, polygons, bubble patterns, or a...

Cells: The key benefits 1 — Shapes. Cells™ balustrades can be straight, curved, spiral, elliptical, or asymmetrically radiused. 2 — Stylish. 2 Cells™ balustrades create a stylish and artistic effect. 3 — Unique. The pattern of each Cells™ balustrade is individually unique.

Poincaré, Paris Poincaré, Paris A luxury apartment in the Avenue Raymond Poincaré, Paris, required a feature staircase in the middle of its stylish living room. The staircase connects the home’s central space to its master bedroom, and its attractive wooden treads and risers combine gracefully with the whitepainted steel Cells™ balustrades. EeStairs worked closely with the French architects, ART QAD, to ensure that the stairs would form a beautiful, highly-crafted centrepiece for the apartment. Our attention to detail is particularly evident where the irregular geometry of the balustrade cells...

Customisation Cells™ stairs can be customised in the same way as EeStairs customises more familiar stair types. The cellular balustrades can be seamlessly and securely attached to steel stringers, or directly to metal or wood stair treads or floor edges. The steel balustrades can have irregularly shaped polygonal cells or irregular bubble patterns, and they can be factory-painted in any RAL colour, or given different patination treatments. Designers can also specify the size of the cells – for example, smaller cells at the base of the balustrade which rise to more open cells, or a random array...

KLM, Amsterdam This four-stage staircase at KLM’s office at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport introduces an unusual organic design to a setting that is otherwise all about minimalist structures and high tech travel. The stairs, designed by Coare Realisatie and made and installed by EeStairs, feature EeStairs Cells® balustrades, whose open geometric networks can also be seen on the balcony balustrade outside the building. This is the tallest set of Cells® stairs made by EeStairs, and the fact that the balustrades are largely transparent is a great benefit at an airport. So too is the way each flight...

Geoff talks Cells Architecture writer Jay Merrick talks to EeStairs designer Geoff Packer about Cells™ balustrades. Jay Merrick: Where did the idea for Cells™ originate? Geoff Packer: I’d always been interested in designing steel balustrades with organic cellular patterns. I tried drawing them, but it was quite difficult and timeconsuming. Then I remembered seeing some Voroni cell patterns quite a few years ago. JM: What are they? GP: Voroni cells are a continuous flow of irregular polygonal shapes generated by a system invented more than a century ago by the Ukrainian mathematician Georgy Voronoy....

Application Cells™ stairs are ideal for domestic, commercial, and office interiors where the designer or specifier wants stairs that combine elegance, strength, and Wow Factor. EeStairs have made and installed Cells™ stairs in stylish homes in cities including Paris, London, and Moscow. In Amsterdam, EeStairs installed a multi-stage Cells™ office staircase at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. The unique aesthetics of Cells™ balustrades, and their steel structure, means they can be used at the edges of floors, such as the perimeters of atriums, stairwells, and patios to make a strong design statement....

Safety & Regulations Cells™ balustrades are strong and secure because they are an integral part of the steel structure of the stairs. However, if the stairs are likely to be used by children, it is important for health and safety to reduce the size of the individual balustrade cells to prevent children from climbing on them. EeStairs restricts the size of the individual cells to a maximum width of 10cm if children will be using stairs with Cells™ balustrades, to avoid creating footholds for climbing. EeStairs is happy to advise designers or clients who plan to specify Cells™ balustrades in child-friendly...
