Originally designed with Singapore Airlines , the company ’ s lie-flat concept has since inspired many product lines , including its latest first-class offering , Monalisa , and luxurious , lie-flat business seat , Allegra .
“ During the Covid-19 pandemic , when many industries came to a halt , we kept ideas flowing and came up with Janus , a seat that optimizes space on the aircraft while meeting social distancing requirements ,” details Luca . Taking its name from the twofaced Roman god , this product is a two-faced seat with capacity for three passengers , who can be separated with a protective shield that isolates them from other people , including those who walk through the aisle .
However , the company ’ s latest innovation is a new economy class seat , Mya . Luca elaborates : “ Thanks to our long history in the market , our extensive experience , and our clients ’ feedback , we were able to design Mya .
It is lightweight , yet simultaneously robust and durable , as well as being easy to maintain .
“ With a focus on designing a lightweight seat , we used a composite material and backrest structure to reduce the number of components required to manufacture a complete seat , which resulted in a 30 percent overall weight reduction .
“ Mya is an incredibly versatile product ,” he states . “ Its modular design means it can be tailored to fit specific needs , allowing clients to combine various solutions to suit different missions and aircraft . Also , with the potential for greater legroom , Mya is suitable for both short and long-range flights without compromising comfort .”
