Avro

A complete, high-performance seating ecosystem designed to meet the evolving needs of the modern traveler.

Created to elevate and enhance today’s passenger experience, Avro offers terminal operators a single, endlessly flexible seating system for all types of travelers.

With its combination of elegant design, vivid colors, visionary engineering, and integrated power, Avro elevates any interior space, transforming high-traffic waiting areas into VIP lounge experiences. Simple, beautiful, endlessly adaptable – Avro is the seating ecosystem built for the future.

Versatile Ecosystem

Designed to meet changing passenger needs and behaviors, Avro is the most versatile furniture ecosystem on the market today.  Avro brings the VIP lounge experience to any waiting area with one single, easy-to-install system. An ingenious universal beam structure allows all seat types to be easily and intuitively installed, removed or replaced – making Avro simple to maintain, clean and reconfigure as needs change. 

Eco-efficient

Avro’s production and distribution processes consider environmental responsibility, economy and efficiency. Avro’s structural components are crafted from endlessly recyclable aluminum, and all components are designed to be easily replaceable to minimize waste and maximize Avro’s lifespan. Seating shells are stackable for efficient and economical shipping, and the fully demountable system is engineered for easy onsite assembly, ensuring Avro carbon emissions are the lowest they can possibly be. 

Futureproof power integration

Easy-to-update outlets give passengers convenient access to safe power sources. Avro incorporates low-voltage USB-A and USB-C outlets in the armrests so passengers can safely and conveniently charge their devices or catch up on work as they move through the airport. The integrated power system offers a safe and secure electrical platform accessible only to maintenance personnel. Optional case leg on the recliner conceals power cables and transformer. The patented, retrofittable outlets ensure ease-of-maintenance while future-proofing the power supply as technology evolves. However fast things move, Avro is ready to adapt. 

Thoughtful design, easy installation, and effortless maintenance.

Thanks to inventive engineering and a pioneering assembly mechanism, Avro is simple to install, maintain, reconfigure and replace – with no specialist training or tooling required. Avro’s aluminum construction, coupled with durable, wipe-clean polypropylene composite seating shells, make cleaning and sanitizing the furniture quick and easy. The intuitive modular structure also allows servicing with minimal tools, so Avro can always look just as good and function just as well as the day it was first installed.

 

The aluminum support structure and patented universal connector are engineered to accommodate Avro’s entire extended family of seating, including tandem, hospitality lounge, and upholstered recliners, as well as benches, tables and accessories.

Multiple colors, updatable upholstery

Today’s travelers are more discerning than ever before. Avro delivers a richer and more refined passenger experience, in both the elegance of its form and the versatility of its color palette. With a core range of dark neutrals, as well as warmer tones and vibrant accents, Avro can be customized to suit the surrounding space. Fabrics are easy to remove and replace, so Avro’s upholstery can be readily updated if the seats become worn, or to simply enhance a new interior scheme. 

Thanks to the high-pressure injected reinforced polypropylene composite that forms Avro’s shell, all colors in the confident, sophisticated palette are UV-stable, and guaranteed to withstand even the highest-traffic zones. Avro is both built to last and engineered to adapt. 

Designed for tomorrow

Avro fuses decades of Arconas’ expertise in sector-leading terminal furniture with the ergonomic knowledge and user-focused product experience of leading London design practice, Pearson Lloyd. The result of this collaboration is a sleek design language that unifies the Avro family – a stand-out seating system that celebrates comfort and practicality, while introducing a fresh, contemporary sophistication into the airport experience.
