Gallery: Korean Air Launches New Business and Economy Class

Design consultancy PriestmanGoode was commissioned by Korean Air to reimagine the carrier's cabin interiors. The new cabin identity will be integrated in the new business class and economy class cabins for Korean's Boeing 787-9 and 787-10 aircraft. The airline’s Airbus A321neo aircraft interior also includes influences from this program.

Among the added comforts in business class are Bluetooth headphones with at-seat charging capability that integrate with the onboard entertainment system.

Business class seats feature a 21 in. bed width, 46 in. double beds for the middle seats, and 78 in. bed length and front-facing configurations.

The business class design pattern draws influences from multiple Korean sources, including Jogakbo patchwork craft, featuring geometric shapes and structured designs in a modern repeating motif, and the linear structures from the Jogakbo pattern reinterpreted into a contemporary embroidered stitch design.

Shown here in a "blue" seat design pattern, economy class design incorporates colors from Hanbok saekdong, intended to reflect Korea’s cultural diversity and global connections.
