20+ of the Most Creative Elevators

I used to know a guy who sold elevators for the elevator manufacturer Otis. I always used to joke that his job must be so easy...."Hey, I see this building you're constructing has more than one floor. Want an elevator for it?"

Elevators are generally boring. Sometimes it seems like you're waiting forever for them to arrive. When they get there, you have to stand in a plain box with, yes, you guessed it, elevator music. Luckily there are some building designers out there who recognize the potential of this tiny room and get creative as they would with anything else.
