Schindler Takes X8 Elevator on European Tour

After making a splash at Milan Design Week in Italy in April, Swiss OEM Schindler is taking its X8 elevator on a European tour, showcasing two fully operational units and inviting architects, designers, urban planners and homeowners "to experience firsthand what Schindler calls a 'new era of vertical mobility,” designboom reported and Schindler announced. Following Milan Design Week, Schindler brought the X8 to the Global Elevator Exhibition in Milan in November. Next up are Swissbau, a construction industry event in Basel, Switzerland, on 20-23 January 2026; the next Milan Design Week on April 20-26, 2026; and various cultural events in the mountain village of Grindelwald, Männlichen, Switzerland, in June 2026. Visitors to the Schindler stand at these events can configure their own model and learn more about the X8, touted as "the only elevator model that requires no headroom, no pit and no structural shaft." Featuring sleek interiors and fully integrated wall doors, X8 operates on a standard power supply.
