Public Furniture --Airport Bench Design





Rationale
Those benches are designed for the environment that  requires personal area such as airport. It is a place that gather people from multicultural background. Those culture differences divide them up from region to region when it comes down to identity. The amount of physical or psychological interruption by surrounding area may cause the effect of stress.
The new benches are aimed to create a place to make people feel more relax. The aim was achieved by adjust the sits in opposite direction and inclined with an angle of 30 degree. Both the angle and the single chair size are tested to ensure that adjacent people won't able to see each other.   The distance between every two people are extended to provide a better space for private phone call or any conversation. In which way , it cuts down the possibilities of being eavesdropped by chances and reduces the noise level by people sitting around you. While it still allows you to chat with the people next to you without turning your head. In addition, the position blocks the curious eyes from stealing sideways glances at your screen. With the help of the angle it inclined,  it reduces the embarrassing  eye contact when people sit on opposite row of benches. 
The benches are made more convenient to the traveler.  The armrest included two tier triangular board to create more storage space for small belongings like phone, wallet and passport.   Top board is made from acrylic with a cup holder. The edge of the board is bounded with a stainless steel strip to protect it from damage. And the second board has a PowerPoint build in for traveler to access. It also comes with 2 powered USB ports for charging your digital cameras, smartphones ,MP3,etc. Because of the sitting position, travelers are having more storage space for the suitcases. They are allowed to place their personal belonging next to them instead of  placing them in front of the chair. So it won't block the isle The use of the leatherette upholstering cushion make it soft to sit on and easy to maintain.

The product is easy to install  and flexible in size for different environment when it is needed.
