The Designer’s Home Lift

Design has been at the heart of the Aritco HomeLift since the beginning

At Aritco, we believe that a home lift should match both a homeowner’s needs and style. Therefore, when creating the first Aritco HomeLift, award-winning Swedish designer Alexander Lervik was brought on board to “design a lift like you would a piece of furniture.”

The Aritco HomeLift’s use of colored lighting, the innovative steering wheel-inspired SmartControl, the incorporation of DesignWalls and custom flooring were the result of having one of Sweden’s greatest design minds put to the task of creating a home lift as beautiful as it was functional.

“A product that has not been designed by a professional designer doesn’t have the same basis for success. The best results come about when the designer is involved from the start and has the opportunity to influence the entire product, not just the surface,” Alexander Lervik.

To create the Aritco HomeLift’s unique series of DesignWalls – decorative back panels that turn the home lift into a work of art – Aritco and Lervik collaborated with several famed designers such as Evelina Koon, Lotta Ingman, Erik Undéhn and Rikard Lilja.

A favorite amongst designers and homeowners on any budget

Aritco HomeLifts’ Scandinavian design and cutting-edge technology has led to several international design awards. Furthermore, the ability to customize almost every aspect of the lift and the flexibility provided by its small footprint has made our home lifts a favorite amongst discerning homeowners, designers and architects alike.

While Aritco HomeLift’s stylish design makes it popular for high-end design projects, the affordable price tag and customizability mean they are accessible to homeowners with a wide range of budgets. In fact, they are likely much more affordable than you think, with standard two-floor models starting at around €15,000.

Designing a homelift he was proud to have in his home

When Lervik decided to renovate a 60s villa to use as his residence, he experienced firsthand how an Aritco HomeLift becomes a vital part of daily life.

“The big surprise is that the elevator is used so much. We initially thought it would be used for restocking groceries and when elderly relatives visit, but it’s become useful in many more situations as well. We use the elevator daily,” he explains.

With sustainability in mind, Lervik chose materials that could stand the test of time, and including a home lift helped ensure the villa’s longevity. Take a look into Lerviks home that was fitted with an Aritco HomeLift.

Aritco HomeLifts are a must-have for top Swedish architect and designer Pål Ross

Pål Ross is an architect and designer who has designed over 300 homes in Sweden during the course of his 20-year career. One of them, Villa Oskar in Östersund, was named Sweden’s most beautiful villa in 2009 and “Best Single Residence, Sweden” in 2013. While his designs are created to suit the preferences of his clients, a home lift is a feature that is always included.

“Futureproofing has always been a focus of the houses I design, and home lifts are an essential element of that. When I, in 2001, started to add a home lift in my house projects, all lifts on the market were quite ugly and needed to be hidden away. Now, I incorporate an Aritco HomeLift into the interior design as it is a stylish and distinctive feature,” Pål says.
