BMW Group’s subsidiary DesignworkUSA was kept pretty busy for a while, designing VIP jet seats for galley inserts supplier Iacobucci HF. The designers have now managed to come up with an innovative VIP seat concept that uses Iacobucci’s mechanism.

“We believe our company is mature to introduce a new product in the VIP aircraft seat market,” stated Lucio Iacobucci, President and CEO of Iacobucci HF. “BMW Group DesignworksUSA was the ideal partner for this new project and I am confident both companies can offer the right mix of technology, innovation and design to the market.”

To emphasize lightness and transparency the material from the armrest was removed. The design is similar to premium automotive seat design.

Featuring a single back rest structure and a deployable and extendable leg rest, the newseat design reportedly provides maximum comfort and proper support of the body in various seating positions. A specific “cradle” recline mechanism with a seat pan tilt coordinated with backrest recline and fully retractable armrest convert the seat surface into a fully flat and flawless bed which is unique in the industry.

The headrest movement includes vertical, horizontal and tilting features and the seat is manually operated. Electronic controls can be installed as an option. A sleek modern design and use of premium materials sourced from the best worldwide suppliers make the seat an exclusive choice for private jet customers.

“With our close to 40 years of experience in seat design for a wide range of industries we provided Iacobucci with design innovation to create a premium product that differentiates Iacobucci for their entry in a highly competitive market.” said Laurenz Schaffer, President BMW Group DesignworksUSA.
