Overview AIRWAVE is a new modular seating solution that combines style, comfort and versatility. A waiting seat collection that offers performance characteristics that respect both user privacy and airport layout standards. Airwave illustrates this desire to find solutions adapted to specific market requirements. It has been designed for intensive use and can be configured in all contract environments and public spaces, including airport lounges, hotel lobbies, corporate offices, universities, public rooms and other waiting areas. The seating line starts with single ottomans, and benches...

The collection is completed with a series of high-backed seats, in single or double units allowing for multiple arrangements. Seating units with high back panels can be arranged stand-alone, side-by-side, or combined to generate various sinusoidal curve patterns.

The shape of the high or low backrests combine to create numerous configurations of sinusoidal curves, allowing you to optimize floor space; units with high backs can be arranged individually, side by side, or combined to generate various patterns. Depending on the arrangement of seating in short, medium or long wave sine curves, a variety of configurations of collective spaces (teamwork, informal meetings) or more private niches (relaxation or reading areas, individual work) can be created.
