Woodup, manufacturer of standard or bespoke staircases, offers its wide range of contemporary staircases. Spiral, quarter-turn, with central stringer — each model adapts to your space and style constraints. To climb a height of 2 metres to 3.96 m, the Woodup contemporary staircase is the ideal staircase.

What is a contemporary staircase?

A contemporary staircase is a staircase with a strongly defined modern aesthetic. It is an element of a home's décor, in the same way as a piece of furniture or a work of art. The contemporary staircase allows, like any other staircase, access to the upper floor, a mezzanine, or a terrace. The contemporary staircase exists as an interior model or exterior staircase. The Woodup contemporary staircase is standard or bespoke, of French or European manufacture.

The contemporary staircase: an elegant and considered choice

Choosing a Woodup staircase is a meaningful decision. All our customers agree: it is quality. Opting for our staircases means investing in a triple balance: practicality, durability and aesthetics. And you can see this for yourself by exploring our website. All our models combine comfort of use with distinctive design. All within respect for the environment and your budget.

Stylish and functional: a piece of furniture that structures the space

Our designers conceive the contemporary staircase as a carefully crafted balance: clean lines, airy stringers, contrasting interplay between wood and metal. The Woodup staircase enhances your interior. It stands out and catches the eye. It visually enlarges the room. Furthermore, it promotes the flow of light. The contemporary staircase pairs well with most décor styles: industrial, Scandinavian, minimalist.

Manufacturing and origin: sustainable materials

Buying a Woodup staircase means choosing France. All our staircases are designed and manufactured in the heart of Auvergne. We also rely on partner workshops in nearby European countries, renowned for their expertise in woodworking. This proximity avoids shipping by container. Our timber comes from sustainably managed, PEFC-certified forests.

Standard or bespoke: balancing cost and lead time

Take stock and align your wishes with your budget. Discover an exclusive web range: eco, comfort, standard, prestige. The standard contemporary staircase is the most economical.

The contemporary spiral staircase

The spiral staircase or helical staircase is the most contemporary staircase of all. Its imposing stature, curved lines and visible, stylish handrail make the spiral staircase a stunning feature of the home. We offer various spiral staircase models, from the metal spiral staircase to the wood and metal spiral staircase. Choose the staircase diameter, the right height and the finishes you like on our website.

Contemporary all-metal spiral staircase

The all-galvanised steel spiral staircase (central stringer, treads, tubes and balustrade bars) has a raw appearance. The treads, depending on the staircase, are solid anti-slip, moulded or perforated. We deliver the staircase with a raking balustrade and a PVC handrail. Woodup also offers a staircase with a metal structure and MDF treads, or an all-painted steel staircase (black or white). These staircases are perfectly suited to contemporary décor, indoors or outdoors. They are available with 10 to 16 treads (height from 2.1 to 3.74 m).

Contemporary wood and metal spiral staircase

If you wish to complement your contemporary décor with a touch of warmth, opt for the wood and metal spiral staircase. The treads of the various staircases are in metal, solid fir, beech or glued laminated oak. Handrail and balustrade are in wood, tube, bar or cable. For a height of up to 3 m, you have the choice of five staircase models. Do you need a high-rise staircase? Our range includes spiral staircases up to 3.74 m. Depending on the model, the treads are triangular or curved, and the metal structure is available in white, grey or black.

The contemporary quarter-turn staircase

Go up to your mezzanine from your industrial-style décor room with a Woodup contemporary quarter-turn staircase! The design and finishes of our staircases combine balance and dynamism. Our staircases have a steel central stringer, grey, black or white. The staircase handrail is in wood, the balustrade with cables, bars or tubes, easy to combine with a light and contemporary décor. The treads of the contemporary quarter-turn staircase are in glued laminated beech. These staircases are available in a floor-to-floor height of 2.80 m, with a footprint of 2.73 to 3.26 m. If you are looking for a staircase with an impeccable finish, opt for the Woodup quarter-turn staircase.

The modular staircase: contemporary finish

The lack of space and the particular configurations of lofts are no obstacle to stylish, modern décor. Woodup helps you find the right model, with its modular staircases with a central steel stringer in white, grey or black. The staircase treads are in beech or oak, and the balustrade in steel with tubes or bars. The staircase handrail is round, in wood, diameter 40, 45 or 50 mm. The staircase height ranges from 2.21 to 3.96 m depending on the model (10 to 16 treads).

Straight contemporary staircase with side stringer

For an interior with an industrial-style décor, the straight staircase with side stringer is a perfect choice. A New York loft atmosphere — your staircase stands out and makes a strong impression on your guests. A straight stringer on each side of the treads, in IPN style, white, black or grey, the industrial straight staircase looks as though it has stepped straight out of a film set. From 12 to 14 treads, the straight contemporary staircase is 80 cm wide, and allows you to climb a height of 2.36 to 2.75 m. The handrail is in wood or steel, with bars or stainless steel flat bars depending on the model. To order, you choose treads in fir, beech or oak.

The space-saving contemporary staircase

To fit out small spaces with a reduced stairwell, we offer a range of spiral staircases or space-saving staircases of the alternating tread staircase type. The spiral staircase is available in white, grey or black, delivered as a kit, with treads in natural solid fir. To work with contrasts, opt for the contemporary staggered-tread staircase, black steel central stringer and beech glued laminated treads.

Comparison of the main contemporary staircases

To help you, here is a summary of the characteristics of each staircase. The choice is simple if you take a step-by-step approach. From the straight staircase to the space-saving staircase, we offer a solution for every situation. In keeping with your wishes: a contemporary aesthetic.

How to choose your contemporary staircase in 5 steps

For many people, buying a staircase can only be done in a shop. Woodup proves otherwise. Our website allows you to browse photos, shapes, dimensions and styles in complete peace of mind. By following our method, you will obtain a staircase perfectly suited to your requirements (dimensions, aesthetics, safety, etc.).

Step 1: measure the stairwell and the floor-to-floor height

Always start with this step. The stairwell is the "opening" provided in the upper floor. Measuring it precisely is fundamental. Height, depth, passage width. These elements determine the staircase — in particular its shape, its pitch, its width. Would you like more details? Visit our advice centre.

Step 2: define daily use and traffic

This parameter is often overlooked. Do not make this mistake. Is your staircase a main or secondary staircase? Will use be daily or occasional? The type of use determines several elements. The wood species: oak or beech for daily use, pine for occasional use. The tread width and the type of balustrade are also linked to use.

Step 3: choose the style and profile of the staircase

A staircase is a means of accessing the upper floor. It is also a piece of furniture. Your choice must take both of these sometimes conflicting considerations into account. The straight staircase is simple, linear, and creates a smooth aesthetic. The quarter-turn is more comfortable to use, but requires a more square than rectangular stairwell. The modular staircase, flexible and light-filled, is ideal for lofts.

Step 4: select materials and finishes

Our website showcases a wide palette of contemporary staircases. It is impossible not to find what you are looking for. We have chosen to combine the nobility of wood with the elegance of metal. The result: elegant stylistic variations that suit most interior décor styles. We have even considered the all-metal staircase, particularly striking.

Step 5: confirm compliance and safety

Because a staircase is a pathway to the upper floors, it must comply with standards. All our staircases are compliant (NF P01-012, NF P01-013). They guarantee safety and reliability: stable treads, robust balustrades, ergonomic handrail. Children, seniors, adults in a hurry: users go up and down in complete safety.

Delivery and after-sales service

Woodup delivers its contemporary staircases throughout mainland France. Parcels are carefully packaged. Your kit staircase is delivered ready to assemble in several separate components. These are: stringers or structure, treads and risers, screws and fixings.

A fitting guide is included with the parcel. The staircase is designed to be assembled by individuals with a good level of DIY skills. For certain models, a pre-assembly option in the workshop is available. A rigorous quality check is carried out before dispatch.
