This is a business class place that can be called a home away from home.
Visualizations of a stunning new narrow-body aircraft cabin with suites that resemble luxurious living rooms have been released.
They “offer more personal space, privacy and comfort” and are equipped with home accessories such as a wall-mounted TV, an ottoman and a slatted wood partition.
Visualizations of a stunning new narrow-body aircraft cabin with suites reminiscent of luxurious living rooms have been released.
The photos show an olive green carpet covering the floor, side tables, and marble and light wood surfaces decorating the space.
The designers say the cockpit will create a “wow” for those who step into the “huge living space.”
The two seats at the front of the cabin have a few things that make them even more luxurious.
They are larger, have a second slatted partition which makes them more private and means the whole set is “wrapped”. In addition, they have a second side table to the left of the cabin for additional storage for personal items, a built-in lamp, curved baskets to give passengers more headroom when standing, and they have a dedicated overhead lighting dome in the cabin. it is “very amazing”.
The suites “offer more personal space, privacy and comfort” and feature home comforts such as a wall-mounted TV, an ottoman and a slatted wood partition.
In addition, the entertainment monitor and ottoman are larger than the rear seats.
The commercial aircraft cabin, created by Seattle-based design and innovation company Teague in collaboration with Tulsa, Oklahoma-based aerospace firm Nordam, is known as “Elevate” and will be unveiled at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2022 in Hamburg this June.
The name is an allusion to the “floating” furniture in the salon, which is attached to the wall instead of the floor using a patented mount called “Nbrace”.
The commercial aircraft cabin, created by Seattle-based design and innovation company Teague, in collaboration with Tulsa, Oklahoma-based aerospace firm Nordam, is known as the “Elevate”.
Elevate will be presented at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2022 in Hamburg this June.
The Elevate is said to be “the first cabin ever” to be designed with wall mounts that “increase bed size, living space and capacity for every passenger.”
“To date, innovation in the interior of the cabin is limited due to the fact that furniture attachment points are only in the seat rails,” the statement said.
Designers say the cabin layout will create the feeling of a narrow-body aircraft, similar to a wide-body aircraft, without reducing the number of seats.
Not only that, Elevate is also considered to be lighter than most cabins, making flying more economical and sustainable.
It is arranged in a reverse herringbone pattern, which means the seats are angled away from the aisle.
Anthony Harcup, Senior Director of Airline at Teague, says: “At a time when passenger wellbeing and sustainability are industry priorities, Elevate is introducing a new generation of beautiful and simplified cabin products that will enable airlines to provide their passengers with an exceptional experience. with the cost-effectiveness that these smaller aircraft were supposed to provide.”
“Floating” furniture in the salon is attached to the wall, not to the floor, using a patented mount called “Nbrace” (shown in the picture above).
And Nordam CEO Meredith Siegfried Madden adds: “This is a next-generation innovation that gives more creative freedom to the aircraft interior design community.
“By revolutionizing the way seats and other memorabilia are attached to aircraft, Nbrace is reclaiming previously wasted space, transforming it into new aesthetic possibilities and vastly improving passenger comfort, space and privacy.”
Elevate is currently a concept. For more information, visit www.teague.com and www.nordam.com.
