The staircase was a challenge: it was fabricated out of concrete prior to us starting on the project, and with marble cladding and a glass handrail it provided no obvious fixing points for the lighting.

They are complemented by uplighting of the smooth side of the curve under the steps, and a wonderful antique crystal chandelier hanging in the central void. Photo courtesy of Simon Warren
