Another first for Aircraft Interiors International: We were the first to try out Jamco’s business class seat, a simple and high-quality design that combines comfort with light weight. For more details, see p90 of our June 2016 issue.
Jamco collaborated with Satoshi Wada to create this business class seat design, which is quite different to its Journey and DoveTail products
The seat is an in-line design, suitable for a 2-3-2 or 2-2-2 LOPA on wide-body aircraft
Middle passengers don’t suffer, as they have direct aisle access, and a couple of extras, including a wider seat (26.4in vs 25.6in) and a larger IFE display (28in vs 24in)
With the dividers down, the seats are social spaces
Many of the styling features and finishes are common across Jamco’s ‘Space X’ range, including Lavatory X, Galley X, and the new first class suite
The bed is 74.9in-long and 25.6in-wide (26.4in for the middle seats). Elegant fretwork features in the concept, which provides privacy without blocking too much light
Deploy the large table and guests can enjoy comfortable dining (including a companion dining option), or a large work area
Control options for the electronic systems include touchscreen devices
There is room to stow a large carry-on under the ottoman
The bezel around the 24in IFE display (28in for middle seats) adds to the high-end residential feel
Passengers can connect their own devices to the suite to make the experience their own
While the seats look luxurious and high-tech, Jamco intends for the design to weigh and cost 20% less that rival models, through the use of manual actuation systems and lightweight materials
