The pattern used for the bulkheads (cabin dividers) is a tribute to the diversity of economy-class travellers. From a distance, the bulkheads look like irregular grid patterns of white dots against a soft grey background. As you move in closer, more and more details become visible, and an image gradually appears: a large group of passengers viewed from the air. This pattern is based on photos of many different travellers, transformed into line drawings to create a more abstract image. They are people of all ages and cultures, headed for many different destinations, each with a unique story to tell the passengers who gaze at the dots during their flight.
