In the space design of modern airports, "functionality" is no longer the only core. As global passengers' requirements for the waiting environment continue to increase, the terminal is also moving towards the multi-dimensional goal of "beautiful, comfortable and efficient". In this process, the airport waiting sofa, as one of the public furniture with the longest stay time and the widest distribution, has become more and more prominent in the unity of aesthetics and style.
1. The style of the airport waiting sofa affects the overall visual tonality
Unified design language: The shape of the airport waiting sofa (modern minimalism, curved streamline or modular design) needs to echo the architectural style of the terminal (such as futuristic, regional culture or international simplicity). For example, the Arabic pattern sofa at Dubai Airport forms a visual connection with the Islamic dome structure.
Color system coordination: Choose an extended color system of the main color of the terminal (such as neutral gray, blue technology or warm wood color), and enhance the level through the sofa cushions and partial jump colors of the frame, but avoid abruptness.
2. Material and structure determine "high-end feeling"
High-end durable fabrics: leather, stain-resistant polyester or recycled environmentally friendly materials enhance the texture while meeting the needs of high-intensity use. For example, the waiting sofas at Singapore Changi Airport use antibacterial coated fabrics, which are both beautiful and hygienic.
Structural material echoes: the metal tripod is consistent with the metal decorative lines of the terminal, and the wooden handrails form a natural transition with the ground stone.
3. Fusion of artistry and interactivity
Creative form: Design the airport waiting sofa as an abstract sculpture (such as the volcanic rock-inspired chairs at Reykjavik Airport in Iceland), which becomes a check-in point.
Technological interaction: integrated touch screen handrails or AR navigation trigger points to enhance the experience while keeping the design simple.
