Airport seating and sustainability: design that looks into the future

In recent years, sustainability has become an increasingly central element in everyday life, consequently also imported into the design of public spaces, and airports are no exception.

More and more international hubs are choosing to focus on innovative and environmentally friendly solutions, capable of combining aesthetics, functionality, and a low ecological impact.

Among the protagonists of this transformation, we find airport seating, a crucial element in ensuring comfort and organization in high-intensity environments, especially when we have to stay there for a long period of time.

Sustainability and innovation in modern airports

In these years, we have heard about sustainability in every field, but how can we be sustainable even in an airport?

We are not only talking about energy management or the reduction of emissions, but also about the choice of materials and furnishings. Airport seating, being among the most used and visible elements, plays a key role in this direction.

The solutions proposed by Altek, such as Airwave or DNA, represent an example of how it is possible to combine sustainability and design without compromises. These products use recycled or recyclable materials and are designed to last over time, reducing the need for frequent replacements and, consequently, waste: obviously, all this without sacrificing the comfort of Altek Italia Design’s seating.

Comfort and design for the environment

It is not just sustainability that makes Altek Italia Design seating a perfect choice for any area of the airport, from lounges to waiting rooms: their innovative design is crafted to ensure maximum ergonomics and comfort for travelers, turning waiting time into a pleasant experience, proudly Made in Italy.
