New covering technique for Singapore Airlines leather upholstery
09/07/2013
The updated design for seats and suites will make its debut in September on board the airline’s new Boeing 777-300ER on selected flights between Singapore and London.
Singapore Airlines said on announcing the development that its aim is to “set new benchmarks” for luxury-class comfort in the skies.
In a statement, DesignworksUSA said its team had taken its cue from automotive interior design for passenger comfort, spatial configuration and functionality. It has imbued the onboard spaces in the first-class cabin with “an aura of tranquillity”, according to the statement, with large surfaces and “elegantly sweeping lines coupled with warm, modern shades of brown within the seating islands [to] evoke the ambience of a living room”.
Each seat in the cabin is lined with fine leather. According to the consultancy, a new covering technique for the upholstery increases tension in the leather, meaning it remains smooth and continue to appear new, even after hours of use.
