After unveiling their latest premium economy class seats, Qantas teased us again with a rendition of a new Business Class concept seat designed by David Caon.
Australian industry designer, David Caon is known for designing Singapore and Hong Kong lounges as well as collaborating with Marc Newson on the design of the A380. This time, he is the lead designer on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The new concept seats are based loosely around the Thompson Vantage XL seat (also used by Scandinavian Airlines SAS) on which the Qantas Boeing 787 and Airbus A330 Business Suite are based.
Caon explains that the new concept seats named CS01 was “an exploratory project, loosely based on the Thompson XL staggered format”.
Caon played with a variety of colours and I must say the colours are more restrained and sombre than the likes of AirAsia.
