Design Firm New Territory’s Comfortable Economy Airplane Seat Concept
London-based design firm New Territory’s Interspace chair concept aims to better the coach-class flying experience.

Thus, they’ve developed a padded wing system that folds out from one’s seat back and grants a cushioned surface to lean on. Anyone who has ever rested against a window or fellow traveler for several hours will understand the value. New Territory also partnered with the UK-based SWS Certification Services to gain airworthiness approval already. Read more at AFAR.
