Airplane seat manufacturer Contour Aerospace and product design consultancy Factorydesign have developed a concept for double-decker seating pods that would provide a more comfortable and private flight. ‘Air Lair’ features individual hard-shell capsules, which contain a flat bed, mood lighting, and a projector for in-flight entertainment.

The ultra-private pods offer passengers more personal space and also give airlines 30% more seating in their cabins, thanks to the double-decker design. Check out the video below to see Factorydesign director Adam White talk about Air Lair:
