We thought it would be fun to put together an entry for this year’s I.D. Magazine Annual Review. As frequent travelers, we were particularly inspired by the project brief: design a graphic, object, or environment that would improve the experience of air travel.

We thought our approach was a good mix of practicality and inspiration, a premium loyalty service enabled by helpful bits of technology that would ease the pain and smooth the turbulence of business travel. Did we expect to win? Absolutely. Even though the judges didn’t share our enthusiasm, we’re happy with what we came up with, and we wanted to share it with you.

A nice welcome to a new device.

That is what I call an interface with lots of haptics.
