One of the unique details of the staircase design is the inclusion of a built-in handrail. The handrail is perfectly aligned with the inner side and includes recessed joints at the edge of the materials and lighting whose 60° angle illuminates the part of the handrail held by visitors. #Handrail #StairsWithLighting #StairDesign #Staircase
