Cathay Pacific Taipei Lounge, Studioilse

In collaboration with Ilse Crawford from Studioilse and Viaduct, e15 has developed the seating for Cathay Pacific’s passenger lounges at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The newly renovated Taipei lounge is the first of eight international lounges to feature the new Shiraz Solo Chair based on e15’s modular sofa Shiraz. Each custom-made unit features privacy partitions on either side and is equipped with a USB-plug as well as country-specific outlet, reading lamp and coat hook.

The aim is to bring to life Cathay Pacific’s new brand design ethos, creating an environment that helps passengers feel relaxed, engaging their senses and focusing on wellbeing as a core principle. This has been achieved by working with warm, natural materials like wood and stone, softening the acoustics where possible and adopting a considered approach to lighting.The overall feeling of the lounge is of a domestic space, more like a living room than an airline lounge, with the new Solo Chair's spacious seat providing passengers with the flexibility to either curl up and relax or catch up on last-minute emails prior to boarding a flight.
