Field notes
The two forms reproduce different stair profiles: Flach has seven steps, while Steil has five steps and a landing. Each piece is cast individually, and the page notes that small pores and variations in concrete color are part of the material. The maker says the first series is delivered by hand within Bern; felt pads are included to protect shelves.
