The innovative technology applications, combined with its newly launched portfolio of sustainable materials are set to enable customers to transform the way in which cabin interior design and space are considered.

F/LIST’s Shapeshifter concept challenges traditional notions and the dimensional limits of the cabin environment. The Shapeshifter program brings cabin components to life, enabling individual cabin items to transform to create valuable cabin space, deliver multiple functions and intelligently respond to passenger interaction. Familiar items form into new shapes, profiles and applications by augmenting available space to extend an individual unit’s functionality. Initial F/LIST Shapeshifter concepts changed the cabin space exemplar include credenzas that transform into a working space, multifunctional lavatory elements and innovative dining areas.

“The F/LIST Shapeshifter concepts set the imagination free and encourages designers to do more with less in the cabin. We anticipate that our customers will welcome the infinite opportunities provided by combining the latest sustainable material product portfolio with our groundbreaking technology. We want to inspire creativity, initiate a paradigm shift and liberate the imagination while providing practical, real solutions simultaneously. The well-stocked toolbox we’ve created will support designers, OEMs, and completion centers in making the impossible, possible in the future cabin. The sky is the limit when it comes to F/LIST Shapeshifter”, explains Melanie Prince, Head of Innovation for F/LIST.

Devised in the F/LIST futurelab, an internal incubator where challenging conventions is encouraged, the diverse technology concepts have been created to work in concert with F/LIST’s newly launched bio-based sustainable materials portfolio. The intriguing suite of concepts is set to inspire ideas around organic movement and how this dynamic transformation can be incorporated to add new dimensions and practical applications to the cabin experience. By combining the bio-based materials with the magic of the F/LIST Shapeshifter concepts, fixed characteristics of wood, stone and metal are liberated to facilitate the transformation from one form and purpose to another.
