Cabin Varieties

Light, panel
and presence.

Six signature interior and safety-lighting schemes from the Milan studio — every cabin sampled, lit and approved before it ships.

Cabin lighting

Cove Line

A continuous LED line traces ceiling, reveals and handrail — 2700–4000 K tunable, CRI > 95, dimmable per floor.

Starfield

A fibre-optic starfield ceiling with a glowing handrail line, tuned against the night view of a panoramic car.

Panelling

Backlit Onyx

Book-matched translucent onyx panels, backlit on dimmable panels and framed in brushed stainless reveals.

Timber Slat

Vertical slatted timber panelling with integrated wall-wash lighting — oak, walnut or eucalyptus, hand-oiled.

Outdoor safety lighting

Shaft Marker

Corner-mounted LED markers and lit landing thresholds make an exterior glass shaft legible and safe after dark.

Landing Guard

Downlit entrances, floor-level guide strips and tactile threshold marking for outdoor landings in all weather.

Design

Millimetric restraint,
material honesty.

Each cabin is composed the way a room is composed. Stainless, glass, stone, leather and lacquer are specified by our Milanese studio and finished by hand in Bergamo. No catalogue compromises — a Skyelevators cabin belongs to one building only.
