ANA has introduced 'THE Room FX,' a new premium cabin concept for its 787 fleet in collaboration with Acumen Design Associates and Safran Seats.
THE Room FX is a redesigned version of ANA's previous 'THE Room' with a focus on flexibility and comfort.
The new design eliminates traditional seatback recline in favor of 'multi-postural architecture,' allowing for seamless shifts between upright, relax, and full-flat positions.
THE Room FX offers a larger flat sleeping surface, spacious seating, and extra storage features like enlarged side consoles and advanced IFE monitors.
Materials and lighting in THE Room FX reflect ANA's design ethos of cleanliness, luxury, and comfort.
The new seat is lighter, more maintenance-friendly, and sustainable due to its simplified mechanical structure.
ANA plans to introduce THE Room FX on new 787-9 deliveries from FY2026 and retrofit existing aircraft starting from the following year.
The initial deployment will focus on long-haul routes to Europe and North America, catering to passenger comfort and privacy.
THE Room FX represents a departure from traditional cabin design by prioritizing posture-based comfort over recline, setting a new standard in the industry.
