KLM chose the Diamond seat model for the update of the 747 business class in 2013. Jongerius adapted and enhanced this model within the financial and time constraints for the design. The ‘noisy’ look of the standard Diamond seat was simplified, and a fresh, new colour was selected: light blue. Whenever the seat is fully flat, the KLM Blue becomes visible, and the traveller can sleep in a sky-blue private space. The impression of privacy is reinforced by the use of separate monitors for each passenger, with a personal storage area beneath each one.
