The AirLounge is not a traditional aircraft seat but takes inspiration from Nordic lounge furnitures. The seat is designed to maximise comfort, space, privacy and freedom to move during a long-haul flight. The clean lines and the dark, comforting colour scheme follow Finnair’s Nordic design style that is visible also in Finnair’s lounges in the non-Schengen area at Helsinki Airport.
