Free worldwide shipping · Made to order & shipped from a lab near you · Arrives in ~5–8 days (US) · Damaged? Free replacement.
Looking straight up the central axis of the Vessel, the honeycomb of coppery interlocking staircases and landings folds into a near-symmetrical mirrored funnel, steel balustrades catching the light. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick and opened in 2019 as the centrepiece of Hudson Yards in Manhattan, the climbable structure stacks 154 flights of stairs into a sixteen-storey lattice. Photographed up the axis, the geometry collapses into pure pattern. A staircase built as sculpture, read here as kaleidoscope.
