Lantal’s customized, all-in-one soft interiors fire up the imagination and demonstrate Lantal’s exceptional customization capabilities.
Airborne Dreams
The selection of seatcover fabrics includes graceful patterns and structures in proven airworthy materials such as classic herringbone, stripe and dotted patterns as well as plain and textured weaves in warm, earthy colors with complementary calm blues, grays, and olive greens. The qualities extend from supple wools and wool/polyamide or wool/viscose blends to Trevira CS chenilles with a handsome sheen. Coordinated curtain fabrics also come in a visually exciting variety of elegantly diaphanous qualities.
The choice of carpets features single- or two-tone wool frisé weaves as well as machine-tufted repp/velvet and deep-pile velvet qualities. For Lantal’s handtufting specialists, there are no limits; they use fine wool yarns or noble silk to craft ribbed, tip-sheared and velours textures and master all carving and embossing techniques. Premium-quality leathers with smooth, textured to glossy finishesas well as genuine suede round out the peerless Executive line.

Milestone in Passenger Comfort
In Hong Kong, the pneumatic system will represent another highlight of Lantal. The market launch of this new concept for aircraft seats took place in May 2005 when pneumatic cushions were installed in a cabin for the first time. A long-range single-class Airbus A319 CJ operated by “eurofly”, an Italian airline, was fitted with Recaro business class seats featuring Lantal’s pneumatic cushions. For
more than a year now this jet has been showcasing the merits of Lantal’s innovation. The seating experience has by far surpassed expectations: passengers immediately sense and appreciate the exceptional comfort enhancement in the air.
