In early December members of the cabin interiors sectors gathered in London, with a view across the city, to discuss trends, issues and innovations as well as to establish collaboration at the RedCabin Aircraft Cabin Innovation Summit.
One of the most exciting reveals from the event was the A/B seatback prototype, revealed on the first day, created by a team of partners brought together by SEKISUI SPI. The idea for the collaboration was sparked six months ago at a previous RedCabin event, following a panel on the next generation of passenger experiences, in which Matthew Coder, onboard experience manager at Alaska Airlines described his dream economy class seat. Ronn Cort, president and COO of SEKISUI brought together panel members to collaborate on a seatback inspired by these requirements.
The Inflight team caught up with Patrick McEneany, creative director of TrendWorks to find out more about the A/B seatback prototype.

The team also spoke to RedCabin founder and CEO Monica Wick about the key themes of the event and caught up with workshop leaders to hear some of the emerging trends in cabin interiors.
