Two leading names in the world of vertical transportation, one shared vision: innovating accessibility without compromising on design. From the collaboration between Baglini Group, a benchmark in the Italian elevator industry, and Sesame Access Systems, a UK-based leader in concealed accessibility solutions, comes Sesame Baglini Lift: an invisible platform that blends advanced technology with architectural integration.
A project born not only of sophisticated engineering, but also of an international synergy that looks to the future of inclusion. The goal is ambitious: to eliminate architectural barriers with elegance, precision, and respect for the urban and historical context.
An invisible platform that adapts to and respects its surroundings
You can’t see it, but it’s there. And it works silently to remove obstacles. The Sesame Baglini Lift is designed to meet a concrete need: ensuring accessibility where stairs and steps create a barrier. Thanks to a horizontal retractable mechanism, once activated, the staircase transforms into a smooth, safe, and discreet lifting platform.
It can reach up to 3 meters in height difference and accommodate up to 21 steps, adapting both floor and finishes to the existing architectural style. Every detail is tailor-made, like a custom suit crafted for its surroundings.
Automatic safety on three levels: elegance without compromising protection
Three automatic barriers are activated during the platform’s movement: one at the upper landing and two along the shaft. Designed to protect people and objects during every phase of the lift. And when the platform returns to its original position, everything disappears. As if nothing ever happened.
A delicate balance between what is visible and what works behind the scenes, between beauty and engineering. Because for Baglini, design is also a matter of hidden functionality.
Technology serving the architectural project
The Sesame Baglini Lift system is already operating in numerous international locations and now, thanks to this new partnership, is also available on the Italian market. A valuable ally for architects, designers, and organizations aiming to make their spaces accessible without altering their identity.
A new step towards accessibility
With Sesame Baglini Lift, Baglini Group expands its vision: not only functional systems, but also new accessibility solutions. Another piece is added to the group’s mission: to make the world more accessible, one project at a time. Because sometimes, the greatest revolutions are the ones that happen quietly.
