Airport terminal seating

Seating at airport terminals needs to be customised to suit the needs of different travellers. Longevity and aesthetics are key to furnishing public spaces with long-lasting furniture. Architects believe that airport terminal seating should match the general quality of the interiors, which influences the choice of materials used for the seating.

Benches and high stools are the most used seating arrangements at airport terminal waiting areas, restaurants, bars, and food courts.

Selection of seating and other airport terminal equipment also depends on airport terminal interior design. One of the biggest challenges of making airport interiors comfortable and pleasant is the scale of construction, which thereby determines the lighting, materials and furniture to be used.
