The Best of Aviation Design
Safran Seats have been shortlisted for Cabin Design Award in The International Yacht & Aviation Awards.
Optima Elite is an enhanced business class seat that provides a first-class product offering inside a business class cabin. In business class cabins, the front row of seats usually requires the installation of an extra row of non-working seats at the front, called front row monuments. This would be to provide features that would otherwise be missing in the seat, such as a video monitor, an ottoman to complete the bed, and sometimes a meal table. These front row monuments have a high cost and don’t generate any revenue as they cannot be used to accommodate passengers.
DESIGNER IN PROFILE: TIMOTHY O’HARA, GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORPORATION
Tell us a little about your background in design:
I have always been passionate about creating. Even from a young age, I knew that is what I wanted to do. Going to school for design allowed me to stretch wings I never knew I had, and once I discovered industrial design, it was a beacon for me.
After graduating from Columbus College of Art and Design, I took a position as an industrial designer with a high-quality furniture firm and launched a career that is now going on more than 30 years.
In my current role, we – my extraordinarily talented team and I – are fortunate to conceptualize beautiful, wellness-inducing cabin experiences and creating those environments through a deft blend of technology and artistry. We are proud to debut the all-new Gulfstream G700, one of the most elegant designs to grace the skies, in this competition.
