Airplane Seats by Pearson Lloyd

Airplane Seats by Pearson Lloyd

Recently London based designers Pearson Lloyd designed a new interior for  the German Aircarrier Lufthansa’s Airbus A350 Cabin.

Designing Airplane seates, like designing car seats is no senecure as comfort and sturdiness are high on the shortlist.

Drawing inspiration from ideas of space and scale, the studio designed a cabin in which the seat is both a singular product with an immediate visual character, but also feel part of a broader whole, in dialogue with its surroundings inside and outside the aircraft.

The colour palette of the design is based on Lufthansa’s ‘colour breeze’ design concept, reflecting the multiple tones of blue in the sky and horizon, rooted in a modified Lufthansa blue. A combination of yarns is mixed in different proportions for different seat covers and creates a gradient that runs from dark blue for seats by the windows, where natural light is strongest, towards lighter tones of the colour breeze for seats at the centre of the cabin. The effect visually stretches the space, making the experience more inviting, calming and dynamic.

Frankie Arm Chair by Jordan Mozer


Frankie Arm Chair by Jordan Mozer

For his collaboration with Chef Michael Cordua on the Américas restaurant in River Oaks, Houston, Jordan Mozer wove together myriad influences to create a space reflective of the Pan-American flavors on the menu. To prepare for the project, Mozer and Cordúa read the magical realism works of preeminent Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez. Inside the 300 seat restaurant, the furnishings told the story—room dividers crafted from felt used for cowboy hats separated the nine terraced dining areas, outfitted with coffee-colored leather seating. Above, chandeliers of hand-blown glass swathed in colored wool hung like giant rainforest blooms and bronze Pitcher Plant lamps lined the walls. Borrowing from urban street culture and pre-Columbian art, Mozer crafted an exhilarating space where Texan cowboys walked with ancient creatures, with every shape and material expressing a sense of vibrant movement. The designs offered here all come from the celebrated restaurant and capture Mozer’s singular creative vision.

Ferdinand Armchair by Åke Axelsson



Ferdinand Armchair by Åke Axelsson

Ferdinand offers comfortable extended sitting. The chair is based on the same theme as the Nomad chairs but, with its use of leather, is more exclusive. The construction is timeless. Chairs of this type were being made some 4 000 years ago. The turned wedges are the secret of the chair, like two wooden knots.

Ferdinand is manufactured by Gärsnäs in two models: one using light red beech while the oak variant is heavier and sturdier. The seat is made of natural or dark brown leather from Tärnsjö tannery in Upland.

Purchasers assemble the chairs themselves without having to use glue, screws or hammer. Ferdinand was awarded the 2013 ELLE Interior Chair Prize. In 2015 the chair won the year’s Lauritz Icon from the magazine Residence.

Ferdinand chairs are supplied in a flat pack direct from Gärsnäs.
