For interior designers crafting high-end spaces, staircases are more than functional—they’re architectural masterpieces that define a property’s identity. Whether in a private residence, boutique hotel, or upscale restaurant, a staircase sets the tone, showcasing elegance, durability, and innovation.
Kallisto, specialists in luxury precast concrete staircases, offers a comprehensive structural solution for designers seeking to create showstopping spaces.
Who Is Kallisto?
With over 75 years of expertise, Kallisto is renowned for exceptional craftsmanship and seamless installations in the UK’s most prestigious venues. Manufactured in Essex, their bespoke designs include curved, helical and cantilever staircases, each tailored to unique project requirements. Every staircase is designed to blend beauty with functionality, ensuring it becomes a defining feature of the space.
A Full-Service Solution for Designers
Kallisto manages the entire process—from working with the architect’s design to installation—ensuring a smooth journey for interior designers and their clients. Initial phone call consultations are free, and the first step involves close collaboration with architects, engineers, and designers to create detailed technical drawings. This ensures the staircase’s structural integrity while meeting aesthetic and functional goals.
During manufacturing, Kallisto uses advanced, adjustable palletised moulds to craft storey-height flights. The staircases are cast upside down, ensuring precision and versatility. This innovative approach accommodates bespoke designs without limiting configuration or profile options. Additionally, Kallisto employs advanced cement replacement technology, which reduces Portland cement usage by 30%. This innovation delivers a significant environmental benefit, achieving over 15% less CO₂e compared to traditional concrete methods.
While Kallisto’s staircases are delivered as a structural element, they are designed to integrate seamlessly with final finishes such as marble, timber, or bespoke materials. Precise allowances for finishes are incorporated, ensuring a flawless, flush result regardless of the material’s thickness.
Installation is a meticulous process. Precast staircases must always be lifted into place before the roof structure is completed. Kallisto handles logistics, including craneage and coordination, ensuring safe and efficient delivery and installation. Their expertise guarantees no detail is overlooked, even on projects with challenging access.
Key Benefits for Interior Designers
Partnering with Kallisto streamlines the staircase process. This simplifies project timelines and minimises miscommunication. Their staircases also offer exceptional design flexibility, accommodating a variety of styles from sleek modernism to timeless elegance.
Beyond functionality, Kallisto staircases serve as striking focal points, enhancing the visual appeal of any space and elevating the overall design. This makes them a sought-after feature in both private and commercial interiors.

Kallisto’s luxury staircases are more than structural elements—they are works of art. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, each staircase is a unique expression of the client’s vision. Their commitment to excellence ensures that every project exceeds expectations, from design to installation. Designers can trust Kallisto’s dedication to quality and innovation to deliver an outstanding result every time.
