Designers Gabriella Gustafson & Mattias Ståhlbom from TAF were commissioned by a family in Stockholm, Sweden, to create a staircase in this cramped space.
To see the designers' surprising solution, just read more
The left-side photo shows the staircase looking up, while the right-side photo shows what the stairs look like from the top of the staircase. I love this design, but I wonder if sleepy stair travelers might go bump in the night if they don't pay attention to the pattern of the stairs.

That is genius and great design...
1how cool!
2That is WICKED HELLA AWESOME.
3I like it, but then I'd always have to chant to myself, "Start with the right foot, start with the right foot."
4Wow!
5I love it! So much creativity here!
love it,.. but i'd definitely kill myself on these stairs!!!
6gorgeous but I have enough trouble coming down a normal set of hardwood stairs, day or night!
7I would rather tackle those stairs than try and do the ladder with an armful of goods
I love the way they look!
8really like it - but i know if that were my stiarcase, there would be some nasty falls.
9They look amazing but they'd hardly be useful. I think I'd tumble down them during the day, let alone the night.
10That is an accident waiting to happen!
11i think it looks awesome.. but i also think it is an accident waiting to happen... i could just see someone having a little tooo much to drink, or not fully awake and taking a nice tumble down them! OUCH!
12That is a great stair case, very chic
13This looks really neat but i would definately fall down them. These are an accident waiting to happen!
14i agree with everyone. look so cool, but come on...not even handrails? i fall down NORMAL stairs...haha
15Love it but I have a habit of falling up AND down regular stairs so these stairs would probably kill me!
16Oh - I get it. Because you have to go down sideways, right? lol. I was thinking 'How does one even walk on those stairs without looking like a Penguin?'
17A fireman's pole might have been just as easy to climb, and at least it would be easier on the way down. This does look amazing, though. Form beats function in this tiny space.
18That looks really cool but also dangerous as hell. Scary.
19Coming from an interior designer and architecture student, you couldn't build that stair case in the US and use it as a means of egress. You would need and additional staircase that meets code.
20Beautiful but I'd not toddler or old people friendly.
21It looks cool, and it would be easier to navigate than the ladder.
22creative solution, but looks kinda dangerous. but the ladder wasn't any better . . . .
23I would have just installed a spiral staircase - this one looks way too dangerous
24cool!
but u have to pay attention when u walk every step xD but it's exciting , right? lol
25I meant it's not
26I love it. It's incredibly chic.
27It's beautiful.. I love it!
28That is truly gorgeous but guaranteed I'd break my neck on that thing. I'm not the most graceful - a hand rail would help.
29I love the visual aesthetic, but I can feel myself tripping and falling as I look down the stairs.
30Great design, but I think I would fall down these.
31Its beautiful! But I'd break my neck the first time I went anywhere near it.
32Thats really beautiful and cool! I wish I had one in my house!
33i think it looks awesome, but would have to try going up and down one myself before ever considering installing something like that
34wow! that is beautiful.
35I would break my neck.
36So gorgeous and innovative! In my old dorm I had a loft section, and there was a slightly slanted but still very steep ladder leading up to it, and since this was freshman year, there were a few drunk nights that could have posed a lot of danger. . .but you get so agile using it after a while that navigating it becomes second nature. I'd guess this would be similar. You'd definitely get the hang of it after a few time. Also, people were mentioning how there is now handrail. . .with our ladder we used the upper rungs to hold onto, and this looks steep enough where you could do the same thing. I LOVE it!
37No* handrail, I meant!
38very creative but easily dangerous.
39wow that is very interesting. love it!
40My grandma's house has stairs like this and I STILL almost break my neck everytime I go down AND up them!!
41chic and beautiful
42looks good but seems dangerous... especially in heels.
43I'd fall and break my neck on those! No thanks .. pretty though!
44So freakin' cool! And yeah, I think you'd get used to it and not worry about an accident. And it looks so cool!
45Yeah I would definitely break something trying to get up and down those everyday.
46that´s a great design, but my butt would look awful after a month! Really not practical.
47They look fantastic but I wonder how practical they are...
48That is amazingly beautiful adn cool... I would love that in my home.. but I hate stares and I bet Id hate walking down those....
49I think it's nice if you have a small space but it looks "danger" to me, especially if you have kids or living with clumsy people around
