Design Meets Functionality – Upstairs and Bolon in Creative Collaboration

Stairs are much more than functional elements. They shape interiors, create transitions, and play a defining role in the overall atmosphere of a space. Upstairs, the Dutch stair specialist, has been dedicated to the art of stair renovation and design for decades. By incorporating Bolon, a new dimension is added: high-quality craftsmanship meets innovative flooring solutions, resulting in durable and visually striking stair designs.

Bolon on stairs is not only a question of aesthetics, it brings together texture, safety, and performance in one seamless solution. This synergy shows how design innovation and material expertise can transform a staircase into a true design statement.

We spoke with Angela van Dongen, Chief Commercial Officer at Upstairs, to learn more about their use of Bolon, their perspective on materials, and their vision for the future of staircase design.

Upstairs stands for quality and innovation in stair design. What inspired you to work with Bolon flooring?
We were immediately inspired by Bolon’s unique look and outstanding quality. The material perfectly aligns with our vision: a staircase should not only be functional but also enhance the overall interior design. Bolon allows us to combine design, durability, and safety in one refined product.

What specific characteristics of Bolon make it an ideal choice for stairs?
Bolon is extremely durable, easy to maintain, and features a strong non-slip texture – exactly what a staircase needs. At the same time, its woven appearance adds a sense of elegance and sophistication. Combined with our step-over-step system, it ensures a seamless and lasting result.

Could you share a project where Bolon played a key role in the design or functionality of a staircase?
In a recent residential project, we used Bolon to create a modern, minimalist staircase. The structure and tone of the material perfectly matched the interior, giving the staircase a striking yet timeless character.

Looking ahead, what trends do you see for stair design, especially when it comes to combining functional materials with modern interiors?
Stairs are increasingly being designed as an integral part of the interior rather than a separate element. Materials like Bolon fit this trend perfectly – sustainable, stylish, and comfortable. The future of stair design lies in materials that not only look beautiful but also stand the test of time.

The use of Bolon in Upstairs projects demonstrates how functional elements can be elevated into design features that last, inspire, and perform. With Upstairs’ expertise and Bolon’s innovative flooring solutions, every staircase becomes more than a connection between levels – it becomes the centerpiece of a space.
