PriestmanGoode's concept for aircraft cabin interiors after the coronavirus pandemic features dirt trap-free surfaces and "colour psychology" to alleviate passenger anxiety.
The project, called Pure Skies, saw the London studio redesign business-and economy-class cabins to be "future-proof" against potential new pandemics.
Colour-changing ink on the seat fabric could inform passengers that the cabin has just been cleaned, and unhygienic elements such as pockets would be removed from seatbacks.

"We've taken hygiene to a whole new level," said Maria Kafel-Bentkowska, PriestmanGoode's head of colour, material and finish.
"However, as the virus is invisible, we've taken into consideration passengers' needs for reassurance while boarding." If UVC light and heat was used to clean the cabin, photochromic and thermochromic inks on fabric surfaces would react to these cleaning methods and broadcast a "message of reassurance". These would be visible during boarding and fade once passengers are seated.
Multi-coloured lighting could be used to reassure passengers. Cyan ? the colour of UV light ? and purple would signal the cleaning process, before changing to warmer shades of peach and yellow during the flight.

PriestmanGoode co-founder Nigel Goode told Dezeen the pandemic is a turning point for to overhauling current aviation design.
"It's not just an opportunity, it's a necessity," said Goode.
"The cabin interiors are...
