UD Mugs

Repeatedly tested ease of use and stylishness. The diningware has a wide-handle design that follows the contours of the hand and allows for the even distribution of pressure; a length that is easy to hold for people with large hands; and a size that fits into the palm of the hand, allowing for a grip without necessarily needing to grip it with one's fingers.
The mugs are also created using high-quality materials that ensure safety and reliability.

Adopting a large shell into the design to ensure privacy and quality sleep, even long flights can be a comfortable experience.

Seat Controller

After careful consideration of postures when sitting in seats or when the seat is reclined, a controller has been developed to allow for any seat position that you desire. The controller has also been developed with consideration for making it easy to see.

The overall design makes extensive use of curves to protect the body, and other UD points such as lighting in the foot area to create a functional and quality feel.

Lumbar friendly "Cradle Structure"

Lumbar friendly "Cradle Structure"

Tilting the backrest, the seat becomes like a cradle, which can slide forward like a rocking motion. The adoption of ergonomic "pelvic support" reduces the pressure on the lumbar. This is also a comfortable seat for those who suffer from back pain during pregnancy.

Photo: The seat supports the weight of the entire body without trouble, reducing the pressure on the waist.

Headrests Adjustable to Individual Preferences

The headrest can be adjusted without steps, allowing for comfortable head support regardless of the passenger's physique. Also, by pulling the two ends, the head is firmly held in place, providing comfort and no shaking around while sleeping.

Adjustable, Stepless Leg Rests

The leg rests, which are effective in reducing edema in the legs, have been equipped with a stepless adjustment. Together with the reclining seat, you can rest your body at the angle that best fits you.
