Danish Parliament: Christiansborg Palace
Assembly room
The wide historic staircase 6 steps down to the assembly room was divided with a FlexStep in the middle to create easy access to wheelchair users and walking impaired.
Old floorboard
The old floorboard steps were re-used as step inserts and brass handrails were the finishing touch preserving the style and atmosphere in this historic room.
In the heart of Copenhagen
The Danish Parliament, the Folketing, is located in Christiansborg Palace in the heart of Copenhagen city. Members of Parliament use most of the rooms in the building for offices and meeting rooms.
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.
