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, chaise recliners, bar-height perches for working, and high-backed acoustic nooks — with integrated planters and acoustic elements that soften the noise of the hall.
Every Way to Wait
The finished system across the terminal — open benches and lounge chaises, private acoustic nooks, integrated planters, and quiet corners to work or wait between flights.
At Home in the Hall
The finished system, installed and in use — curving past the windows with the runway beyond.
