In
the
last
10
years
there
has
been
a
lot
of
activity
in
aircraft
seat
design
and
configurations,
and
lately
there
has
been
talk
from
some
airlines
about
multiple
level
configurations..
My
dad
and
I
came
up
with
a
cabin
configuration
ten
years
ago
that
can
put
594
seats
on
the
A380
in
their
555
seat
configuration,
with
all
passengers
in
seat-beds
having
each
more
individual
space
than
ever
in
the
passenger
industry
since
the
sleeping
berths
on
the
1930´s
DC-3.
This
is
a
good
deal
for
the
aircraft
industry
since
they
get
more
seat
count,
and
for
passengers,
because
they
get
a
more
healthy
and
comfortable
ride.
This
sistem
also
hepls
prevent
DVT
(Deep
Vein
Thrombosis),
that
is
one
of
the
fears
of
many
frecuent
flyers
and
elder
passengers..Also,
since
there
are
three
ailes
in
the
design,
passengers
and
aircraft
staff
have
50%
more
access
to
seats,
restrooms
and
emergency
exits,
etc.
In
the
design
we
have
taken
account
of
all
dimensions
in
the
cabins,
emergency
exits,
restrooms,
kitchens
and
trollies,
etc.
The
seat
weight
factor
is
a
very
impotant
one,
this
seats
can
be
manufactured
to
weight
about
the
same
a
actual
seat
weights,
plus
the
structure
is
stronger
and
flexible.
New
logistics
have
also
been
designed
for
passenger
seatting,
since
there
are
smaller
and
larger,
older
or
younger
passengers.
This
design
is
ment
for
any
widebody
aircraft
from
Boeing
or
Airbus.

What role does Mario believe product design plays in creating a better future?
Product design has the ability to make someone feel good, as when they like the design of their new car, cel phone or watch, it also has the ability of making life more comfortable, as with ergonomic designs for all kind of everyday stuff, from a pen, a chair to a car or airplane seat. And very importantly it also has the ability to save lifes, asi in an airbag, seat-belt, and medical utencils. Design, even before it was called design, has molded the world, form the first agricultural tools, rockets to the moon, to the latest communcation gadgets that have changed in many key moments the course of history. The good thing about design is that most of the time, it is made from people that want to do good things for everyone else, trying to create a better future.
