Gust RIX Airport
Airport seating usually fights the space: rigid rows of identical chairs dropped into a corridor built for constant movement. Riga's terminal is long and narrow, with a heavy, directional flow of people. Furniture there has to take real wear, serve very different needs at once, and never become an obstacle in the stream.
How do you furnish a river of people without damming it?
Furniture that flows
Gust reads as one continuous, gust-like ribbon that bends along the corridor and follows the foot traffic rather than blocking it. From that single gesture grows a whole modular family — benches, seats, lounges, working bars and acoustic nooks — all sharing the same curved language, the same materials, and the same calm fit with the terminal around them.
One Family, Many Pauses
A kit of modules that clip into a continuous run and flex to the space: bench seating for a quick stop, open seats for waiting, deeper lounge pieces, bar-height desks for working, and high-backed acoustic seats — with acoustic elements that soften the noise of the hall.
Every Way to Wait
The same flowing system, seen in use across the terminal — from open benches and lounge seating to private acoustic nooks and bar-height perches for working between flights.
At Home in the Hall
The finished system, installed and in use — curving past the windows with the runway beyond.
