Turn your elevators into a multi-sensory experience — and a strategic asset. KONE Digital Experience Car redefines elevator interior design through digital visuals, lighting, and sound. The result is a premium building experience that strengthens brand perception, engages users, and adds long-term value.
In today’s buildings, elevator journeys are no longer just about moving people efficiently. They also shape brand expression, tenant experience, and long-term asset value.
KONE Digital Experience Car goes beyond traditional elevator design. It introduces a dynamic digital layer inside the elevator car — turning it into a communication, branding, and experience space that supports both people and business goals.
This software-driven, future-ready platform allows content and visual expression to evolve over time without changes to the physical elevator.
The elevator is a unique touchpoint where you have users’ full attention. KONE Digital Experience Car turns that moment into a powerful expression of your building’s identity, supporting premium positioning in competitive rental and investment markets.
For users, KONE Digital Experience Car transforms elevator journeys into more engaging, human-centered moments. Dynamic visuals, audio, and lighting create a welcoming atmosphere and improve the experience of arriving and leaving the building.
KONE Digital Experience Car enables new revenue opportunities by monetizing digital space for brands or service partners. This creates a clear return on investment and can help recover the initial investment over time, particularly in commercial and hospitality buildings.
Content can be fully customized over time — by time of day, season, or event — without changes to the physical elevator. This allows the experience to continuously adapt to the evolving needs of your building.
There are three KONE Digital Experience design platforms, each offering a distinct visual and sensory expression to support different building concepts and ambitions. All options come equipped with a premium sound system designed specifically for elevator environments. Your chosen platform can also be installed in existing buildings.
KONE Digital Experience Car
KONE Digital Experience Car features a full-height video wall across one or multiple surfaces, with the option of full-height LED panels to further enhance the experience, combined with synchronized lighting. The result is a highly immersive and visually impactful elevator journey — one that can be tailored to your building's brand, adapted for special events, or updated remotely with new content at any time.
kONE Aurora Car
The KONE Aurora Car combines ambient lighting, textured panels, and customisable finishes with immersive soundscape capability. At its heart is the KONE Aurora Animated Light Wall — a floor-to-ceiling glass panel that emits a wide range of colours and dynamic patterns, synchronized seamlessly with music and the atmosphere inside the car. Side walls can be customised with a wide range of materials and textures to match your building's aesthetic vision.
KONE Mirror Display Car
The KONE Mirror Display Car features a high-resolution 4K mirror display paired with animated LED side lighting and carefully tailored materials — delivering a refined and contemporary digital experience with a premium aesthetic. Custom-built to meet demanding elevator-specific standards, the non-heating screen is designed for safety and longevity in the elevator environment. The other walls can be customized with a wide range of materials to complete the look.
Designed to support your architectural vision
KONE Digital Experience design platforms are flexible by design, allowing architects, designers, and building managers to align digital content, lighting, and materials with the overall building concept. Easily tailor visuals for different times of day, seasons, or events. Share real-time updates, promotions, or announcements instantly. Seamlessly combine video, lighting, and sound for journeys that feel considered — not incidental. Whether the brief calls for a calm, atmospheric backdrop or a high-impact branded statement, the platform adapts to the vision.
Every KONE Digital Experience Car elevator is engineered to deliver exceptional performance across its lifetime — with components and credentials that reflect KONE's commitment to design integrity, sustainability, and safety.
KONE Digital Experience Car is a fully integrated solution — not an afterthought. There are no post-installation modifications that could compromise the safety integrity of the elevator car or its EMC certification. Every element is designed and built as part of the elevator from the ground up.
Energy-efficient operation and optimized hoisting support lower energy consumption and a reduced carbon footprint across the elevator's lifetime — so your building's digital ambition doesn't come at an environmental cost.
The built-in high-fidelity sound system is designed and engineered in Finland, with premium audio components carefully placed inside the car for an exceptional sound experience. The result is a soundscape that feels immersive and natural — not like a speaker in a box.
The KONE Digital Experience Car concept was recognized with the Red Dot Design Award in 2021 for its innovative multi-sensory design — an independent validation of the quality, originality, and impact of the experience KONE delivers.
Commercial & mixed-use
In competitive commercial buildings, the elevator is a daily touchpoint for tenants, clients, and visitors. KONE Digital Experience Car turns it into a premium brand moment — supporting tenant retention, attracting high-value occupiers, and differentiating your asset in the market.
Hospitality & luxury
Hotels and luxury properties are built on the quality of their experiences. KONE Digital Experience Car brings that philosophy into the elevator — with immersive audio, light, and visuals that create a seamless, branded journey from lobby to suite. It also opens new opportunities for in-car content and guest communication.
Premium residential
For premium residential developments, the quality of shared spaces defines the building's reputation. A KONE Digital Experience Car elevator signals quality and care — creating a welcoming, distinctive environment that residents are proud to call home, and that supports long-term property value.
