The KONE Deco line of elevator interiors now features designs by textile- and clothing-design company Marimekko. Marimekko's decorative laminates join other KONE Deco designs, launched earlier in 2006. KONE Deco consists of replaceable wall-design elements for elevator car interiors, doors, and lobby areas. The decorations can be changed as often as several times a year. KONE Deco covers the full service from space design to material installation and replacement. Preselected and custom solutions are available. Pictured is Marimekko design "HO-HOI!" by Maija Louekari. |

The easily removable crank is inserted at the foot of the bed. This system provides personalized support for the spine in its natural position. |

German mathematician and designer Max Longin has introduced the "stream" chair, a series of four variations on a single design. His chairs follow a common grid, with playfully varied asymmetry in the stainless steel frame. This creates a rhythmic dynamic, especially when the chairs are organized in a group. The seat and back are upholstered and covered with soft leather in the color of your choice; the cheeks come in the wood of your choice. |
