Rising Trends in Airport Furniture Design

Travelers worldwide have noticed a growing focus on design and comfort in airport lounges. A prime example is the luxurious Stockholm Grand Central station SAS lounge by Ilse Crawford, featuring plush velvet armchairs and sofas in rich browns and deep blues. The Scandinavian-inspired workspace also includes white tables, blue and grey upholstered seating, industrial light fixtures, and wooden floors, creating a cozy hygge atmosphere.

Ilse Crawford, founder of Studioilse, also designed the airport contract furniture for Hong Kong’s Cathay Pier First Class Lounge Day Suites. The lounge features daybeds, elegant sofas, and cognac-colored leather wing chairs with matching ottomans and tables made of onyx, limestone, and bronze, promoting a calm and welcoming environment.

Leading furniture brands like Steelcase and Coalesse bring innovation to airport lounges, offering versatile seating with options such as power outlets, screens, and tablet arms. Coalesse’s Massaud Lounge collection, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, won the 2015 Red Dot Design Award for its blend of comfort and technology. The set includes an armchair with a swiveling tablet, adjustable headrest with removable pillows, and ottoman with storage.
Canadian company Arconas, with furniture in over 200 airports, notes trends like at-seat power, drink holders, and organic seating layouts that welcome traveler flow instead of rigid rows.

Popular airport furniture brands also include Pedrali, favored by lounges worldwide, and Arper, whose Catifa chairs are found in Munich and Singapore VIP lounges.
