The cooperation between Alexander Lervik
and Aritco Lift AB started 3 years ago.
Aritco’s market and trend research to
understand what to develop in the area of
new products had lead Aritco to start
developing a lift specially designed
for the home. At that moment Aritco realized
that they where put into a full new world of
behaviors and design, not things they where
fronted with in the normal lift industry.
Understanding that they where rather now a
part of the furniture, house and home design
world, they contacted Alexander who was
sparked by the idea of developing a new
lift. Since then this lift has been
developed in a tight collaboration between
Alexander and Aritco Lift, finding solutions
for design and technology combined.

Because Aritco HomeLift is customizable and
efficient design. It is the first lift that
is designed with the homeowner and the
private residence in focus. Thanks to
innovative engineering and a close
cooperation with the Swedish furniture and
interior designer Alexander Lervik the lift
is not only a problem solver, but real piece
of art in your home. With the Aritco
SmartLift app installed on your phone you
can easily set the lighting in the lift and
the DesignWall to fit your mode. The lift
will notify the homeowner, via the SmartLift
app, when service is needed. The Aritco
HomeLift with both safety and reliability in
focus; to meet all kinds of situations that
can occur in a home, as well as prevent
accidents. All safety is included in our
SmartSafety system. The Aritco HomeLift is
95% recyclable and has a lower energy
consumption than an average washing machine.
