Learning More About Airport Chair Designs

Designs for the airport chair are basically unchanged from the designs of the airport chair of twenty five years ago. There are not a lot of different things that can be done to change the look of the airport chair.

One of the main things that you can change about the airport chair is the colors of the items. Colors come into style and go out of style the way different woods, metals, and materials. In the sixties and the early seventies the avocado green was chosen for the majority of all waiting room furniture, and household carpets, and almost everything else.

If things were not done in the avocado green they would be done in orange. Not really bright harvest orange, but rather a dull burnt orange that had a hint of red to it. People often mixed the orange and the green together. This was often complimented by a deep gold color that seemed to be everywhere until the end of the seventies.

The seats designed on a uniform base so that more seats could fit into a small space were very popular in airports and bus terminals for a long time. Not many waiting rooms that would see large numbers of people in them had single chairs for people to sit in. Single chairs take up a lot of room because of the way they are framed.

The semi-circle sofa style waiting room seats were highly popular in the late seventies and the early eighties. These allowed for a lot of people to sit on them and yet kept the area from looking totally institutionalized. The airlines wanted people to start to see them as nice places to go.

A lot of airlines use a combination of different seating styles so they can fit places for passengers to wait into different parts of the building. They will take benches that have no backs and place them close to the windows so people can sit and watch the planes arrive and depart. These are perfect for families with children and they also allow larger people to sit more comfortably.

The airlines will take groups of furniture pieces and place them together in a setting like a living room so that people can sit and chat with each other. If the passengers are sitting and talking then they are less likely to be anxious while they wait and they will remain calmer when a delay happens.

There are the traditional seats that are placed in rows door large numbers of people to sit at. These seats are often filled with people who are traveling alone and waiting to board a flight.

Airlines have tried to add indoor fountains and areas of interest so that people who have to wait can have something more than just some plastic chairs to focus their attention on. Aquariums are often placed in public seating areas because the fish have a calming effect on people. Computer desks and magazine stations are also great ways to keep people calm and relaxed.

The airport chair is usually a row of seats instead of an individual chair. An airport chair will likely have someone setting in it for long periods of time and should be comfortable for this reason.
