The project’s goal was to create a lightweight, comfortable and healthy seat that is good for the environment. The metaphor ‘sit on the clouds’ was used to convey the feeling that people should have when sitting on this seat. They should feel free, relaxed and healthy.
The seat is really unique with a light weight netted back rest and a new reclining mechanism not disturbing the passengers behind you and the seat pan was constructed with a human contoured 3D spacer fabric seat pan seat pan and to prevent sliding out of the seat.
