German airline Lufthansa is launching a phenomenal new business class cabin, branded 'Allegris Business Class,' that will offer an enviable combination of technologically driven comfort, aesthetic points and consummate comfort.
Designed by none other than London-based Pearson Lloyd, the 'Allegris Business Class' cabins feature modular seating that includes temperature-control features, 27-inch screens, a two-meter long bed, wireless charging, personal wardrobe, minibar and other goodies, all of which are located in an environment that provides heightened privacy.
The seats comprising these business class cabins have been designed to the specific shape and dimensions of each airplane. What's more, 'Allegris Business Class' will comprise as many as seven categories, an offering that is testament to the fact that business travellers can't be painted with a single broad brush and that preferences vary and need to be catered to.
