A cabin furnishing element for a cabin, such as a cabin of an aircraft, includes a panel having a panel body. The panel body includes an illumination surface having an illumination zone, and defines a lighting recess within the panel body relative to the illumination surface. The panel also includes a lighting system having a light source assembly and a light guide. The light source assembly and light guide are retained within the lighting recess defined by the panel body. The lighting system is adapted to selectively illuminate a portion of the illumination zone.

An arrangement, includes a first furnishing and a second furnishing, at least one part of the first furnishing being movable in the direction of the second furnishing, and at least one part of the second furnishing being movable to free a space for receiving the at least one part of the first furnishing.

Arrangement of a first and a second furnishing

The individual room units presently used in aircraft, e.g. crew rest rooms, are usually fixed installations so that quick on-demand changeover of passenger seats to such a room unit may only be feasible with an extended change-over period in the repair hangar. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a modular wall construction system for aircraft cabins is provided, which comprises individually prefabricated wall construction panels () adapted for a quick installation with connecting elements without additional tools. This may result in the formation of at least one room of a room unit () of individual size and geometry.

Modular wall construction system for aircraft cabins

A modular communication fixture is installed in a passenger aircraft adjacent to an entrance and exit area adjoining a passenger boarding door. The fixture includes a housing, at least one access door that is selectively movable to an open position and a closed position relative to the housing, an information and communication terminal arrangement that is installed at least partly in the housing and that includes a control section, and a seat that is adapted to support a person seated thereon and that is arranged movable into and out of the housing. In the open position, the at least one access door permits access to the control section and the seat, and extends into the entrance and exit area. In the closed position, the at least one access door prohibits access to the control section and the seat, and does not obstruct the entrance and exit area.

Modular communication fixture for installation on board of a passenger conveyance

A modular communication fixture is constructed for installation in a passenger conveyance particularly a passenger aircraft cabin. The fixture includes first components for the use and/or benefit of passengers and second components for the use by on board personnel only. The fixture has a housing and a door with an opening. The first components are so arranged in the housing that the first components are available for use by passengers through the opening in the door when the door is closed. The second components are so arranged that personnel can use the respective components when the door is open. When the door is open the fixture provides a work station for a personnel member.
