What will the aircraft cabin of tomorrow look like, and how will it feel? The Cabin Concepts category recognizes visions that redefine space, function, and aesthetics. This year’s winner sets a clear benchmark for how radically comfort and efficiency can be integrated. THE Room FX concept combines two seats into a single compact structure, thereby reducing weight and space requirements - an important foundation for increased comfort and higher seating capacity. This is enabled by an innovative mechanism: the seatback remains fixed while only the legrest moves, creating a continuous lie-flat surface.

The jury chose this concept "for delivering a spacious passenger experience within a highly constrained footprint through exceptional design efficiency and minimal mechanical complexity. It optimizes weight while enhancing comfort and functionality, balancing passenger needs and airline requirements. By improving existing seat architecture without compromise, even in smaller fuselage cross-sections, it provides a deeply innovative solution expanding space without added weight."
