Cutting-Edge Economy Seating

COS Cabin Space Concept Provides Comfort and Connection to Passengers

Take a look at these amazing renderings of the COS Cabin Space Concept, and imagine what it would be like to board an airplane and to see this space-age sight within the cabin. For the 2014 iF Design Awards, Jan Meissner presents a proposal for a stimulatingly souped up airline economy class that would make you content enough to leave the business section be.

There is no doubt that you're drawn to the fascinating touchscreen interfaces that cover the backs of all of the seats, presenting customers with video entertainment, chat platforms, climate control, inflight meal ordering systems and journey information. What the COS Cabin Space Concept also suggests is a complete and ergonomic redesign of the seats themselves.
