Asprey, luxury lifestyle store chooses EquiLift.
Earlier this year, Asprey, the British luxury lifestyle house, opened its magnificent flagship store, at 167 New Bond Street in London. The 20,000 sq ft of space has been the home of Asprey since 1847. The new design, by Lord Foster took two years to complete.
The dramatically revamped store comprises of several historically significant listed buildings, limited space and unusual design features can often make wheelchair access to these types of buildings difficult.
To overcome one particular access problem within the office area, Asprey have chosen to install two EquiLift Tangent Incline lifting platforms. The space saving Tangent is fitted to the stair tread or wall and offers the perfect solution for straight staircases inside or outside of the building. Tangent is fully automated and easy to operate, when required, the user simply depresses the call button, which opens the platform for the user to board. Once the user has disembarked the platform lift is folded away so that it does not restrict access for other people wishing to use the staircase. |
