As a renowned architect of major international airports, Norman Foster is also an expert on their interior design. Vitra therefore sought his collaboration for the development of the AIRLINE seating system for waiting areas. AIRLINE can be easily assembled with a single wrench and reconfigured as needed. The system is flexible, extremely robust and easy to clean. The understated, sleek design ensures stylistic longevity.
