Exclusive Staircases for Cologne

DESIGN STAIRCASES FOR COLOGNE BY MARKIEWICZ

With around 1.1 million inhabitants, the city of Cologne is not only the fourth largest city in Germany, but it is also known for Cologne Cathedral, the world-famous Cologne Carnival, and its open-mindedness. What is often forgotten is that the city on the Rhine is also one of the leading centers in the global art trade. This is where the connection to our company lies, because staircase construction is much more than just a craft. Rather, it is an art that has fascinated us humans for centuries. Anyone who sees staircase construction as merely the practical creation of climbing aids overlooks the true complexity and artistry of the craft. markiewicz always focuses on individuality, and we could truly imagine carving the logo of the carnival society to which the owner belongs into a staircase that we build in Cologne. Of course, somewhat hidden and only recognizable to the initiated, as befits the understated elegance for which markiewicz is known in staircase construction.

For almost three decades, we have stood for quality, the highest standards of craftsmanship, and innovation in staircase construction. Our design staircases are truly one-of-a-kind, individually handcrafted in our in-house manufactory. With years of experience and a passion for craftsmanship, we are proud to be your trusted partner for creating exceptional staircases.

Our Reference for Cologne

In a picturesque setting, markiewicz took on the challenge of an exceptionally intricate handcrafted project. A unique staircase was designed for an exclusive residential building, conceived by the creativity of a renowned architectural firm. The highlight of this bent staircase is its hand-carved wooden railing, crafted in the Baroque style. With over 7,000 hours of meticulous craftsmanship, the railing seems to tell the story of this extraordinary era of art and architecture. Flowing curves, intricate ornaments, and artistic details beautifully embody its timeless elegance.

Award-Winning Wooden Stairs by Markiewicz

At markiewicz, crafting staircases is more than just a profession—it's our passion. That’s why we are deeply honored that three of our staircases have been awarded the prestigious title of “Staircase of the Year.”

In 2012, we won in the category “Extravagance” with our exclusive stringer staircase in the Art Deco style, realized in a city villa in Berlin. The staircase features white lacquered stringers made of ash wood, paired with steps of smoked oak. This wooden staircase was completed with a forged railing adorned with characteristic Art Deco ornaments.

The same honor was bestowed upon us in 2018 for one of our most intricate staircase designs. With stylistic influences from Antoni Gaudí, this organic staircase was brought to life with an extraordinary, hand-carved railing. Now recognized as perhaps Berlin’s most artistically ambitious wooden staircase, it graces a penthouse in the heart of the capital.

In 2019, we received yet another “Staircase of the Year” award, this time in the category “Architecture.” In collaboration with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Architect Paul Kahlfeldt, this Art Deco masterpiece was crafted for a villa in Berlin. The bold design contrasts featured black granite steps and intricately profiled hardwood stringers, flawlessly paired with a meticulously executed metal railing, completing this architectural triumph.
