The product concept, first shown at the start of the Covid pandemic, is designed to help build individual customer confidence in their return to flying and rail travel.
HeadZone is a passenger focused solution, which can either be distributed by the airline as a complementary item or sold for revenue gain. HeadZone has now been developed to fit a range of different short - and long haul airline seating options including those with headrests.
HeadZone can be customised at the request of the customer and, being manufactured from cardboard, is fully recyclable. Foldable and easy to package, it represents a reusable low cost solution without the use of myriad plastics. So much better for the environment and so much better for the client, HeadZone provides a lighter solution than other more permanent designs helping to minimise fuel consumption for airlines.
HeadZone is available in a range of different options which can be printed on all its surfaces to incorporate and support client branding. This offers the opportunity for advertising and can provide an additional revenue stream for the airline. Antibacterial coating can also be included at an additional cost.
Factorydesign and Global Aviation are looking forward to seeing HeadZone on many aircraft, helping to build passenger’s confidence in flying and, independently, beyond Covid19, to continue to create personal ‘me space’ in busy crowded environments.
“We are delighted that the initial interest in HeadZone has been followed up by airlines who see its true potential and we are very pleased to be working with global aviation,” stated Adrian Berry, creative director of Factorydesign. “Working with them we are focused on bringing to market a simple, thoughtful passenger focused product that can deliver in an environmentally considerate way.”
Herman Kooyman – president & COO Global Aviation, added: “Global Aviation is very proud to have been selected by Factorydesign to bring the HeadZone to market. The customised solutions they have developed, combined with a 100% recyclable material and with a very affordable price is the optimal solution for the airlines.”
