EVA Air Royal Laurel Business-Class By BMW Designworks

If you are the type of traveler that doesn’t want to compromise your comfort and luxury, then the only acceptable choice would be first class or business. The former is for passengers who desire the prestige and extra perks close to that of a 5-star hotel. Meanwhile, the latter is perfect for individuals who want a balanced mix of comfort and space for productivity mid-flight. EVA Air recently teased its upcoming fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Apparently, each one will boast classy furnishings and upscale seating designed by BMW Designworks.

According to the Taiwanese airline, it opted to focus its resources to create an opulent yet functional cabin environment. It will cater to people who want a comfortable and productive flight. This stylish new installation will be available on all of the company’s Royal Laurel accommodation.

A preview of the new setup reveals that the business-class section of each Boing 787 Dreamliner will tout a 1-2-1 seating configuration. The paired middle seats feature an adjustable privacy panel. This is useful in case you don’t want to hold a friendly conversation with your fellow traveler. Comfort is the name of the game as each seat reclines into a flat 76-inch bed.

There are enough storage cabinets for most of the stuff you might need during work and a slide-out tray is available if needed. BMW Designworks and its touch of class are currently exclusive to EVA Air, for now, so book your flights early to experience it firsthand.

Futuristic Business Class Seats By BMW

Automaking is not enough for BMW, apparently, so the German carmaker is now penetrating the aviation business, too. Well, not quite. It’s not going to make planes anytime soon, but its subsidiary, Designworks, is designing innovative suites for Taiwanese airlines EVA.

The Designworks team presents a vision of premium travel never before seen on any of EVA’s commercial planes. Trying to describe it would do the seats a great disservice. As such, let’s just say they’re more like lounges than conventional plane seats. They come in natural leather and rich custom textiles that’ll make you feel right at home even though you’re tens of thousands of feet up in the air.

“We wanted EVA’s business class experience to be fresh and memorable for passengers and to make service, design and brand all work together,” according to Johannes Lampela, a design director at Designworks’ studio in Los Angeles. “Our goal was to take a proven seat platform and make it unique to EVA.”

The seats, debuting on the EVA’s new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, are arranged in a one-two-one layout. They feature adjustable privacy panels between the paired middle seats, spacious built-in storage cabinets, a wide seat-side shelf, an extra-large work table, and a massive 18-inch HD touchscreen display.

The plane itself, on the other hand, features an array of LED lighting that changes depending on the day: blue for nighttime, yellow for daytime. EVA says deliveries of Boeing 787-9 jets are expected this year. The first plane flies between Taipei and Hong Kong in October.
