Opening this Spring, Fraport AG, the operating company of Germany’s largest aviation hub, has opened an innovative roof terrace to the departure area of Frankfurt Airport, Terminal 1. As of April, the “Open Air Deck” in the transit zone welcomes visitors with a dramatic view over the airport apron. Not only is the view spectacular - but the HI-MACS® furniture is an eye-catcher, too, with an inviting seating area.
Organic #design for the outdoor furniture
The furniture for the 138-square-meter terrace was designed by the award winning Studio 3deluxe. The interdisciplinary creative team has been operating in architecture, #design and art since 1992 and is known for its organic approach to #design. The “Open Air Deck” is part of the indoor “Leisure Zones” series, which were implemented at Frankfurt Airport in 2011. This rest area, used as a place to calm down in the midst of busy airport activities, features dynamic curved furniture and its #design features were also adopted for the roof terrace. The organically-shaped bench seat made from HI-MACS® Alpine White runs alongside the glass balustrade. The roof terrace enhances the transit traveller’s quality of stay in a unique way. After flights that often last for hours, the terrace offers the opportunity to breathe freely in the open air and enjoy the sunlight.
Meticulous #design detail
The designers opted for HI-MACS® for the 20 linear metres lounge furniture. The solid surface material is resistant to UV-rays, , water and temperature fluctuations. Hence the material will remain beautiful and durable for many years. Besides longevity properties, the solid surface is also the only material that had the ability to be thermoformed seamlessly and crafted exactly the way envisioned for the organic furniture of the “Open Air Deck”.
