Lift specialist Aritco to present the Artico HomeLift at 100 % Design
The world ’ s first design-led domestic lift , designed by Alexander Lervik for awardwinning Swedish lift specialist Aritco , will be on show at 100 % Design stand L525 . The brand has been selected as one of the show ’ s top five “ one ’ s to watch ”.
Aritco approached Lervik , one of Sweden ’ s top designers , to develop the first ever residential lift like it was a piece of furniture , using light and the latest technology to make it adaptable to modern ways of living , and the smart homes of the future .
The Aritco HomeLift is sleek , strong , light , silent , safe , low- maintenance and can be controlled via a smartphone . Crucially it comes with its own shaft , making installation into both new and existing homes straightforward . Crafted from large panes of laminated , scratch-proof , acrylic glass with no visible screws or fixings , its backlit DesignWall comes in a range of 9 patterns and colours . Walls and doors are all 10mm thick , making each lift entirely customisable .
Soft white , recessed LED lighting along the walls and in the lift ’ s ceiling can be controlled via the SmartLift app , developed in-house by Aritco - coloured light to create different moods is optional . The SmartControl panel inside the lift is intuitive and ergonomic , and the SmartSafety system includes child locks , an alarm button and battery- operated backup in case of power failure .
The double doors of the lift , crafted from two beautiful glass blades , take up minimal space and are equipped with smart door openers that sense if something is in the way . High quality PVC carpet from Swedish supplier Bolon on the platform lift floor is durable and easy to clean .
The stand at 100 % Design will be twostorey , designed to be a portion of a house . Visitors can try out the Aritco HomeLift for themselves as they will be able to travel up 6.1m to the floor above . You will also be able to pick your own DesignWalls , flooring , door and wall colours for a chance to win your own personalised Aritco HomeLift .
“ It took three years , from a blank sheet of paper to the final product in which I designed everything from the shaft to the lift platform and also came up with a whole new solution for the control panel . My ambition was to come up with the ultimate flexibility for consumers , who have to be able to identify with their choice of lift through a range of options in terms of materials and colours ”, says Lervik .
