A seat system includes a base support structure having at least one flat seat support surface, a seat pan support structure movably coupled to the base support structure and having at least one contoured seat support surface, and a back rest support structure movably coupled to the base support structure. The back rest support structure includes a primary frame having at least one flat back support surface, and an articulating frame movably coupled to the primary frame and having at least one contoured back support surface. The seat system also includes a back rest cushion having an occupant-facing back rest surface, and an articulating arrangement of back rest cushion support members movably coupled together to define a bottom surface of the back rest cushion opposing the occupant-facing back rest surface.

Seat system with adaptively adjustable seating surfaces

A configurable interior fixture for a vehicle includes a base assembly, a table assembly and a stowable cushion. The foldable cushion includes first and second pad portions pivotally connected along a medial edge with a hinge assembly and a collapsible sleeve forming an interior cavity configured to receive the table assembly when the foldable cushion is in a use state. The collapsible sleeve is disposed in a gap formed between the first and second pad section when the foldable cushion is in a folded state. The interior fixture may be configured as an ottoman by lowering the base assembly, folding the table assembly and attaching the foldable cushion to the table assembly. The interior fixture may be configured as a table by raising the base assembly, detaching the foldable cushion from the table assembly, then folding and stowing the foldable cushion.

A reclining seat including, but not limited to, a seat bottom; a seat back, a leg support, and an arm support forming a seat assembly. The seat assembly is configured to be supported on a floor surface and to move between an upright configuration and a flat configuration. The seat back and the leg support are transverse to the seat bottom, and the arm support is transverse to the seat back, when the seat assembly is in the upright configuration. The seat back, the seat bottom, the leg support and the arm support are each longitudinally aligned with one another when the seat assembly is in the flat configuration. An upper surface of the seat back, the seat bottom, and the leg support are each coplanar with one another and substantially coplanar with the arm support when the seat assembly is in the flat configuration.

Indirect lighting arrangement for a vehicle

Vehicles and multi-place dining tables for vehicles are provided. In one example, the vehicle includes a vehicle structure having a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a floor disposed therebetween. The vehicle structure at least partially surrounds an interior area that has an aisleway extending therethrough. A multi-place dining table is disposed in the interior area and includes a first table section that is disposed between the first sidewall and the aisleway. The first table section includes a first tabletop. A second table section is disposed between the second sidewall and the aisleway and includes a second tabletop. The second tabletop is movable between a stowed position where the first and second tabletops are spaced apart from each other by at least the aisleway and a deployed position where the second tabletop extends across the aisleway and is coupled to the first tabletop.

A configurable interior fixture for a vehicle includes a base assembly, a table assembly and an ottoman cushion. The base assembly is positionable between a lowered position and a raised position. The table assembly includes a center leaf section supported on the base assembly and a side leaf section that is moveable between a stowed position and a use position. The ottoman cushion includes a base frame with a cavity for receiving the table assembly and a cushion assembly attached to the base frame. The interior fixture may be configured as a foot rest by lowering the base assembly, folding the table assembly and attaching the ottoman cushion to the table assembly. The interior fixture may be configured as a table by raising the base assembly, detaching the ottoman cushion from the table assembly and the unfolding the table assembly into the use position.

Lighting assemblies for interiors of vehicles, interior panels for interiors of vehicles, and vehicles are provided herein. In one example, the lighting assembly includes a backing structure having a first backing surface configured to face the interior when the lighting assembly is mounted in the vehicle. A bezel comprises a wall that extends from an outer edge portion to an inner edge portion. The inner edge portion is spaced apart from the first backing surface to define a gap and surrounds an opening that is configured to expose at least a portion of the first backing surface to the interior. A light source is disposed between the backing structure and the bezel and is covered by the wall. The light source is operative to produce light that passes from the light source through the gap onto the first backing surface and is reflected therefrom through the opening to the interior.
