FlexStep

Invisible solution, visible inclusion

At the French non-profit organization Action Philippe Streit, accessibility is not just a practical necessity – it is a core value. The organization supports people with disabilities in rural environments, focusing on independence, care, and social inclusion.

When the site needed to become fully accessible without compromising on architecture or aesthetics, the choice fell on Liftup’s FlexStep – a combined staircase and lifting platform that elegantly unites function and design.

FlexStep

An elegant solution

FlexStep, Liftup’s multifunctional platform lift, easily transforms from a staircase into a lifting platform. Its discreet and harmonious integration allows it to blend naturally into the surroundings – without visual or structural disruption.

The result is invisible accessibility, where everyone enjoys equal access – in the same space.

When design and values go hand in hand

At Action Philippe Streit, accessibility is about much more than regulations and requirements. It is about creating opportunities – for work, dignity, and participation in the community.

Here, FlexStep is not just a technical product, but a symbol of inclusion and respect.
It supports the organization’s human mission and demonstrates how thoughtful design can be part of something greater.

A project that inspires

The installation was carried out by Liftup’s French partner Orona Alma, who later received recognition at the Trophées de l’Ascenseur 2025 for this very project.

A tribute to how FlexStep combines technology, aesthetics, and social responsibility – creating accessibility that is almost invisible, yet deeply felt in everyday life.

FlexStep

The FlexStep stairlift is designed to function both as an ordinary staircase and as a wheelchair lift. Developed and manufactured by Liftup, the FlexStep is flexible and equally useful for pedestrians and wheelchair users alike. FlexStep is an innovative 2-in-1 solution and saves space compared to installing both a flight of stairs and a separate lift.
