In the heart of Milan, just a stone’s throw from Piazza San Babila, Paschetto has lent its craftsmanship to the creation of Audemars Piguet’s new AP House. A project where contemporary luxury meets the architectural precision of Lissoni & Partners.
The Fossil Oak staircase: a masterpiece of structural joinery
The staircase designed for the AP House is not merely a connecting element, but a striking focal point that brings together technology and materials. The star of the show is the carefully selected fossilised oak, a precious material chosen for its rich colour and the millennia of history it embodies.
- Technical Specifications: Each step, 40 mm thick, showcases unique natural grain patterns, which are protected and enhanced by a natural oil finish.
- Engineering: The load-bearing structure has been designed to offer optimum strength whilst ensuring a remarkably light appearance.
- Lissoni’s precision: Through months of collaboration with the architects at Lissoni & Partners, we have perfected invisible joints that reflect the absolute formal purity characteristic of high-end minimalist design.
A sensory journey through Italian craftsmanship
Every detail of the staircase has been designed to complement the light and proportions of the open-plan spaces in the AP House. The balance between the robustness of solid wood and the fluidity of the design transforms the material into a tangible experience.
This project underscores Paschetto’s role as a strategic partner for international brands that demand the excellence of Italian craftsmanship and precision in the handling of rare and precious materials.
