Schindler X8 wins Red Dot Award and iF DESIGN AWARD
The Schindler X8 has won two of the world’s most respected seals of design quality, a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026 and an iF DESIGN AWARD 2026. With its new, innovative approach to residential elevator design, the award-winning product rethinks how an elevator looks and feels inside the home, moving away from the traditional image of an elevator as a functional, industrial product. Instead, it transforms the image into a piece of contemporary design that can blend seamlessly into a building’s architecture and interior.
“We are extremely proud to win two highly respected international design awards,” said Amanda Driehorst, Strategy and Sales Manager, Business Innovation Team, Schindler. “A great deal of emphasis was placed on the aesthetic and emotional aspect of the Schindler X8, something that has not always been given priority in elevator design. [It] is not just a functional piece of equipment; it has been created to feel like it belongs in your home.”
