December 1, 2006—KONE and Marimekko have signed an agreement to start cooperation under license for the decoration of elevator car interiors. The agreement provides an opportunity to apply Marimekko designs to elevators by applying a decorative laminate to the internal walls of an elevator car. Marimekko designs will be part of the KONE Deco solution, offering high-quality design alternatives to supplement other KONE Deco designs, the companies say.
KONE is one of the world’s leading elevator and escalator companies, and Marimekko is a leading Finnish textile and clothing design company.
The KONE Deco designs can be predefined or customized, and can be applied to both new and existing elevators. The KONE Deco solution covers the full service from the decoration planning to material installation and replacement. The decoration can be changed to suit the place and event, even several times a year. It can be used to change the mood of the elevator according to the building and occasion.
