SoFab is a “new” seat, designed from the ground up with full consideration for future and current passenger and airline needs. A sofa that, with a simple mechanical movement, becomes a full flat bed, with a bed surface area that is more than 25% greater than comparable high end business class seats. It offers 100% direct aisle access, remarkable privacy, integration of the latest in-flight entertainment systems and generous stowage options. Its unique construction allows the passenger to travel in simple relaxed comfort, as if they were at home, on their own sofa. The multi-direction, multi-dimensional travel environment creates a place of comfort and calm.The unique design of the SoFab consists of far fewer components than a traditional electrically reclining seat, which has many benefits when considering the drive to a sustainable aviation industry. SoFab represents on average a greater than 50% weight saving when compared to similar seats. Therefore, the impressive reduction in weight equates to a significant fuel burn reduction and in carbon footprint. It cannot fail to work, simply because it bases its effectiveness on design and not on electronics.The lack of electricomechanical components results in a per passenger seat weight of approx. 50kg (not including IFE components, seat belts, life vest), representing an incredible reduction in weight, on average at least 50% when compared to currently available seats for the long haul business class market. The savings in fuel brought about by this weight reduction will be significant.Easy transformation of the seat: Manual mechanism, no electric movements (easiness in positioning the additional cushion in order to create bed space). The highly efficient and effective design of the SoFab creates on average a bed surface area that is bigger than comparable high end business class seats. This enables the passenger to sleep in any position they choose; back, side, front, curled up or stretched out. Sleep on a long haul flight is a luxury. - One interface for everything you need: With easy-to-access power sockets close at hand, the passenger will be able to work, dine and play in a calm, safe and restful environment. - Like at home. When it comes to dining, passengers will be able to easily deploy a stable large bi-fold meal table, big enough to create a relaxed dining experience. The table can be then used in its folded form to create a cocktail side table for use during the cruise. Thanks to its movability, the passenger can still exit the seat with the table fully deployed.
