What makes a staircase more special than others? That’s a question which has been on my mind for quite a while now, as every staircase has its own originality, history, and beauty. I realized that when visiting the staircase of Den Bell in Antwerp, the secret of a breathtaking staircase lied in its ability to tell a story to be read while ascending and descending its stairs. Indeed, the steps of Den Bell tell Antwerp’s history by emphasizing on what has always mattered for its inhabitants throughout the centuries; classy fashion, savoir-faire, and above all, discreet perfection.
