THE‘elevator it often becomes the cradle of conflicting sensations and embarrassments. Cinema also often represents them. And in some Christmas movie the elevator has a real role. The multinational Kone – which designs and produces elevators, escalators and moving walkways and automatic doors for buildings – had fun selecting these embarrassing and, in some cases, turning points.
«There is no better time than Christmas to highlight our beloved elevators with a lighter and more pleasant interpretation», he comments Sergio Alvarezmarketing manager of Kone Italy & Iberica, «After all, we know that in an elevator all emotions become more intense and cinema, from this point of view, has given us and continues to give us moments and scenes that remain in our hearts and in those of our families precisely thanks to the sensations associated with them.”
