Benches and reclining loungers for a multi-zone concept.
Greutmann Bolzern designed an innovative multi-zone concept with special furniture for the SWISS lounges in Dock E at Zurich Airport. As well as a range of benches, the collaboration with Girsberger also produced 19 loungers which can be reclined from an upright position for reading to a horizontal position.

The key design challenge involved developing a smooth pivot mechanism that would stop gently in both positions. With the aid of prototypes, the reclining process was optimized multiple times and perfected. The U-shaped partitions which enclose each reclining lounger offer privacy and a buffer from any surrounding noise, but also feature integrated electric cabling with a reading light and power sockets to charge batteries.
