Vintage elevator

Antique Elevator, 1900s

We talked to Patrick Carrajat, founder and curator of the Elevator Historical Society in Queens, New York, about the ups and downs of his industry.

Elevators are generally an under-used design space, with the vast majority of them retaining a functional, box-and-button style that offer little in the way of visual appeal. Luckily however, there are some who recognize the potential of this little room-on-the-move, and get as creative with the humble elevator as they would with any other space!

Love the look of a old elevator in an industrial style setting

Antiguamente se llamaba ascensorista a la persona que desde la cabina tenia el control y manejo del ascensor. Entre sus funciones estaba abrir y cerrar las puertas, pulsar los botones de los pisos y el manejo de la palanca de marcha o stop. #ascensor #elevador #elevator #vintage #antiguo #antique #lift
