A’DAM – The Netherlands Elevator ride like a rocket launch “Designing elevators for the future begins with an outside-in perspective,” says KONE’s design director Timo Tiainen. “When we begin the design process, we first look to the external environment. We study events and phenomena in different parts of the world, and look for inspiration in our surroundings.” This principle was also applied at A’DAM, where KONE delivered an experience elevator which runs from the main floor directly to the roof. The elevator is provided with a full glass roof combined with glass side walls. The idea was to create an unforgettable ride experience resembling a rocket launch with special light effects during acceleration and deceleration. 37
