You're looking at an unorthodox staircase called the Object Élevé for a home in the Netherlands to maximize space, functionality, and wow factor. It is also pretty scary looking.

The base features an integrated desk with multiple levels for laptops, printers and more, and has built-in storage. The uneven steps feature additional storage underfoot and the top and bottom of the staircase are completely disconnected.

With no bannister at its side, it's pretty scary to walk down these in the night, don't you think? [Mieke Meijer via Dezeen]
