In 2019, at number 30 on Zurich’s famous Bahnhofstrasse, Paschetto created a masterpiece for the Louis Vuitton boutique: a bespoke staircase that blends Swiss precision with Italian craftsmanship.
The Art of Solid Oak
The project stands out through the use of high-quality materials and cutting-edge construction techniques. Each step has been designed as a unique piece, transforming a functional element into an architectural sculpture.
- Dimensions and Material: Steps made from selected solid oak, 120 cm long and 4 cm thick, chosen for their durability and rich natural grain.
- Interlocking Engineering: Thanks to a system of concealed interlocking joints, we have eliminated all visible fixings. The result is a ‘floating’ aesthetic, where the staircase appears to float without supports between the boutique’s floors.
- Prototyping and Precision: The project required an intensive phase of scale prototyping to ensure millimetre-precise assembly and a flawless finish during installation.
An immersive experience in luxury retail
The natural light streaming through the windows in Zurich plays off the warm tones of the oak, highlighting the wood’s texture and creating a welcoming yet extremely refined atmosphere. For PASCHETTO, this project demonstrates the ability to master the raw material to meet the aesthetic standards of the world’s leading luxury brands, ensuring products that are built to last.
