Stairs to Nowhere: 15 Works of Surreal Staircase Sculpture

But these 15 spectacular floating spiral staircases and stairways to nowhere go beyond  utilitarian architectural features  that resemble modern art  – they  are  art. From a transparent red staircase made of sheer fabric to massive sculptures twisted into knots, these stairs serve as symbol and metaphor, not to mention eye candy. Terrifying Stairway to Heaven (images via:  langbaumann.com ) Would you have the strength of stomach to take on this  totally terrifying stairway ? Dozens of feet above the ground and lacking any kind of handrail, these steps connecting two steel doors on a high-rise look like a building inspector’s nightmare.
