Earlier this month, Unum Aircraft Seating launched Unum Two at AIX. Unum Two is the company’s new forward-facing lie-flat, direct aisle access business class seat.

The Unum Two staggered business class seat for widebodies is a 21.5” wide seat that provides direct aisle access, a door and (as with Unum One) offers a big bed, spacious footwell and “the largest side furniture of any forward-facing seat,” a recent release detailed.

Unum Two incorporates the company’s patented Scimitar seat mechanism that is featured in all Unum products. “The unique kinematic of the seat offers infinite adjustability, lumbar support when you need it, a well-supported Zero Gravity position and an open and spacious footwell,” the release said.

“Unum Two is a great seat and together with Unum One means we have a seat to suit all tastes,” Chris Brady, Founder & CEO, Unum, said in the release. “Like its herringbone sister, it is an elegant design that delivers maximum comfort at minimum weight! I’m extremely proud of the team who have incorporated everything that was great about Unum One — from the focus on sustainability to the comfort of a well-supported Zero Gravity position — and successfully applied this to a forward-facing option. Unum Two builds on our ability to disrupt the status quo, while enabling airlines to deliver a consistent business class passenger experience.”

Many travellers will have their needs met with Unum Two as the seat incorporates “an alternating mix of sociable and more private seats across the widebody cabin.”
