Is there anything more uncomfortable than an airport seat?
What this design from Kwon Jin-Seok will do is make you a lot more comfortable when your overbooked flight delays your flying by seven hours while you down $10 drinks in an airport that smells like stress and despair. Sorry, I've had some nasty flying experiences and I got a little carried away there.
What makes this design so unique is that everything on the airport seat is adjustable. The back rest can be slid down to create a picnic table type of seat. The back rest can be made horizontal for napping. Built in plugs and USB ports make using your gadgets in the airport a breeze. The design is so clever that Jin-Seok won a Red Dot Award for his design.
Forget airports, how can I get one of these seats in my living room?
