Before then, the lines of seats found in airports and other public waiting zones consisted simply of chairs attached to each other or else a long beam supporting a row of seats and backrests. And very often, they were in a deplorable condition.

    OTB's design aimed to be innovative in the support system while providing comfort and robustness. To do this, he integrated a horizontal supporting element which was angled to facilitate contact with the seat and backrest. The load resistance of this supporting bar was calculated in combination with the overall piece. The seat and backrest were made more ergonomic, bigger and stronger. The perforation adds a lightening effect as well as subtle decoration.
