AIM Altitude has created concept front-row monuments (FRMs) to showcase its abilities in the design, engineering and manufacture of unique, customised cabin furniture.
The design allows the lower half of the units to remain the same, with three different upper-half arrangements, demonstrating the flexibility of the FRMs. The configurations include a full-height closet, an under-bin closet with branding panel, and a half-height closet with provision for a baby bassinet.
AIM Altitude has worked on the FRMs in collaboration with Thompson Aero Seating for its Vantage and Vantage XL seat range.
The central units have been designed to meet the standard width for Vantage XL seating, while the outboard units have a wider footwell area. The footwells themselves have quickly-removeable acoustic linings, with exciting new trim and finish capabilities, including soft raised patterns that can be matched to the innovative 3D laminate design on the vertical surfaces. A branding panel has also been incorporated into the central unit, displaying new lighting and cutting techniques for razor-sharp definition.
Enhancing the passenger experience, AIM Altitude has worked hard to ensure greater storage options and to incorporate the use of new technology. Each FRM has laptop storage in a new ‘glove-box’ option and a deployable tablet stand, so that personal content can be viewed in normal seat mode or in sleep mode. Coat hooks, literature holders, and personal lockers all add to the options.
The concept FRMs will be available to be viewed by appointment at AIM Altitude’s own Customer Experience Zone at its headquarters in Bournemouth, UK.
