Transforming Air Travel Comfort with Tangerine and Buzz

British design consultancy Tangerine has teamed up with Buzz, an Australian manufacturer specializing in airline products, to envision groundbreaking concepts aimed at enhancing in-flight comfort with products like an “in-flight cocooning blanket”. Sam Blank, Buzz’s Director of Innovation and Product Strategy, highlights their goal: “We wanted to proactively rethink the premium economy comfort experience and explore what could emerge from collaborating with creative minds from a parallel sector.” The result is a suite of textile-based innovations designed to provide respite during long flights without needing a fold-flat seat.
