Los Angeles-based designer and SCAD alumnus Abel Macias covered the staircase in fabric as part of a wider showcase of alumni works on display at the historic L’hôtel de Maisons in Paris.
Macias transformed the 18th-century staircase using bright colours and shapes informed by the landscape of the American Southwest.
At the top of the staircase, SCAD fibres graduate and Associate Chair of Fine Arts Gretchen Wagner presented a colourful suspended sculptural installation made from accordion-folded paper cylinders.
The paper cylinders were embellished with embroidered beading and hung from the ceiling like a chandelier.
