Restpoint: Revolutionizing Airport Seating

Designed by Hakan Gürsu, Restpoint is a Personal Seating Unit for Airports

The Restpoint, a unique airport seating design by Hakan Gürsu, offers passengers a private, comfortable space to relax and work while waiting for their flights. This innovative design, which won the prestigious Golden A' Furniture Design Award in 2013, is a testament to Gürsu's commitment to user-oriented design and his ability to transform public spaces.

Restpoint is more than just a seating unit; it's a private haven in bustling airports. The design was inspired by the need for privacy in public spaces, particularly in waiting areas. Each unit provides a private area where passengers can relax, read, or get online via personal digital devices without being disturbed by the person behind or interrupted by the person next to them, as the seating units are separate.

The design is not only about privacy but also about convenience. Restpoint is designed with the needs of passengers in mind, offering a working area and plugs for electronic devices. It also provides a safe luggage area, ensuring passengers' baggage is secure while they relax or work.

Restpoint's unique design is realized using stainless steel for the body, chrome-plated for durability, and PU cushioned seating for comfort. The design is also user-oriented, with collapsible armlet space that can be used as an advertisement area. The unit is demountable, making it easy to install and remove as needed.

Restpoint is not just a product; it's a bright idea that advances design and technology in public spaces. It embodies extraordinary excellence and significantly impacts the world with its desirable characteristics. This is reflected in the prestigious Golden A' Furniture Design Award it received in 2013, a testament to its marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creation.

Assisted by Eren Şenyurt, Hakan Gürsu has once again demonstrated his design prowess with Restpoint. This innovative design is a clear reflection of Gürsu's commitment to creating user-oriented designs that transform public spaces, making them more comfortable and convenient for users.
