"The Schindler X8 on tour brings the company's revolutionary design directly to cities including Milan and Basel, started with the Global Elevator Exhibition 2025 in Rho Fiera, Milan. The tour showcases two fully operational units of the Schindler X8, a first-of-its-kind traveling in the elevator industry, inviting architects, designers, urban planners, curious minds, home owners and design aficionados, to experience firsthand what Schindler calls 'a new era of vertical mobility.'"
"Founded in 1874 by Robert Schindler and Eduard Villiger in Lucerne, Switzerland, the Schindler Group began as a small mechanical workshop producing lifting equipment and machinery. Over 150 years later, it has grown into one of the world's leading providers of elevators, escalators, and moving walkways, operating in more than 100 countries and employing over 69,000 people. With its headquarters in Ebikon, near Lucerne, Schindler continues to blend Swiss precision engineering with forward-thinking design."
Schindler is touring two fully operational X8 elevator units across European cities, including Milan and Basel, following a debut at Milan Design Week 2025 and the Global Elevator Exhibition in Rho Fiera. The X8 requires no headroom, no pit, and no structural shaft, and runs on a standard power supply, enabling installations where traditional elevators are impractical. The traveling units invite architects, designers, urban planners, homeowners, and design enthusiasts to experience the system firsthand. Schindler was founded in 1874 and now operates worldwide, emphasizing innovation, safety, sustainability, and Swiss-engineered design.
