AgustaWestland Spotlights Innovative VIP AW169 Interior At EBACE
Helicopter OEM selects interior concept from furniture design studio that is new to the aviation industry.

Italian helicopter manufacturer AgustaWestland (Booth 6629) is showcasing an innovative VIP interior concept for its in-development AW169 at EBACE 2014, replete with artist renderings, color samples and a scaled-down mockup. The four-passenger interior concept features earth tones and swiveling seats with translucent shells. It was created by design firm Lanzavecchia + Wai for the “Flydeas for the City” contest sponsored by AgustaWestland and the contemporary design magazine Interni.

“The interior gives the people inhabiting the aircraft the right to adjust it depending on their needs,” said designer Francesa Lanzavecchia. “Everyone has their own chair to live in with a table, light and recharging socket. It’s private, but it becomes public the moment you decide to [position the seats] in conference seating.”
