JPA Design – economy class headrest

The team at JPA Design has found that, apart from supporting the head, the economy class headrest doesn’t really offer much to the experience. Thus they have devised a concept that imagines an improved functionality and ergonomic arrangement

: The headrest consists of a rear housing that provides useful functionality such as security storage, in addition to headphone sockets and USB charging, and an ‘always on’ lightweight fiber-optic reading light

: Another benefit of the design is that the IFE monitors can be moved forward, thereby creating a slimmer upper seatback

: The unit is mounted to the outer sides of the seat, which allows for greater up-down travel, making it ergonomically effective for smaller and taller passengers

: For details of JPA’s headrest concept, and to hear other ideas to enhance this feature, see our June 2017 issue

: “We see this headrest as more of a ‘system’,” says Tim Manson, design director for transport at JPA Design. “It’s a design that is highly customizable and can be upgraded and downgraded for different airline and passenger needs.
