Solutions

Kusch+Co products designed for the travel environments meet the stringent norms and highest requirements regarding safety, functionality, design, comfort and utility.

Hygiene

Whether wooden or metal frame, whether the seat is made of polyurethane or covered with fabric, leather or synthetic leather – the surfaces of our seating are pore-free, stain-resistant, and extremely hard-wearing. These surfaces, geared towards efficient, hygienic cleaning, may also contain antibacterial surfaces.

Reduced mobility

For passengers with reduced mobility, it is possible to raise the seat height of one or more seats within a bench row / configuration by using spacers:

• 8000 by Studio F.A. Porsche – by 4 cm
• V-Travel by Justus Kolberg – by 5 cm or more
• Terminal by Prof. Jorgen Kastholm – by 5 cm or more.

At the same time the seat ergonomics is changed, the seat angle is a 20 mm more upright to make it even easier to stand up and sit down.

The stable arms provide extra support, facilitating sitting down or getting up. These benches meet all the requirements of EU Regulation No. 1107/ 2006 which, among other things, regulates the availability of appropriate seating for passengers with reduced mobility.

Fire prevention

All areas furnished with the products featuring the Kusch+Co Fire Prevention Concept provide more safety in case of fire. Without having to compromise on design and comfort.

Kusch+Co Fire Prevention Concept
The upholstered seating features a special fabric “flamline” incorporated between the upholstery foam and fabric as a flexible, non-filling protective layer.

The flamline is nonflammable, heavy-duty even in direct contact with fire and A2 nonflammable according to DIN 4102 as approved by the building authorities.


The compound consisting of upholstery foam, nonflammable fabric and fabric meet all the requirements of the classification DIN 66084 P-a – the paper pillow test.

Kusch+Co Fire Prevention Concept achieves four life-saving objectives – the seating:

• 
is self-extinguishing,
• 
reduces the smoke development,
• prevents an incipient fire from spreading out,
• 
does not turn into an additional ignition source.


Charging mobile devices

Whether smartphone, tablet or laptop – power and data modules incorporated in the bench configurations and lounge seating are ideally suited for fast charging while using the handheld devices. For instance, with modules fitted with country-specific sockets for the general power supply as well as modern interfaces like USB 3.0. The power and data modules are exchangeable.

On top of this, the cable ducts guarantee a secure cable management in compliance with the legal regulations. Project-related solutions, e.g. wireless charging, are also available.


International airports are proof of our core competence in the furnishing travel environments.

Whether in Dublin, Paris, Berlin, Singapore, Beijing, Los Angeles or São Paulo - around the globe you can find our seating furniture and tables in many architectural projects - including our waiting benches and lounge furniture.
