Leading regional turboprop manufacturer ATR and world-renowned Italian design
house Giugiaro Design today unveiled their partnership for the development of the
new ATR ‘-600 series’ cabin, named ARMONIA.
ATR and Giugiaro Design have worked closely together to create an ultra modern,
appealing and comfortable cabin. The name ARMONIA is linked to beauty,
harmony, balance and calm, themes apparent in the new design.
Giugiaro Design has been involved in many high profile and highly acclaimed car,
corporate aircraft, train, ship and motorcycle design projects. The synergic
approach established with the ATR engineering team represent an important step
forward for both firms. The new ARMONIA cabin marks Giugiaro’s entry into the
commercial aviation interior design market, enabling it to use its expertise in
creating stylish, practical, ergonomic, efficient and effective designs.
ARMONIA enhancements
The ATR ‘-600 series’ has the widest cabin in the regional aircraft market.
ARMONIA’s attractively and cleanly styled seats, ceiling, side panels and overhead
bins make the cabin more spacious, airy and comfortable. ARMONIA also uses
lightweight materials, reducing its total weight by the equivalent of two passengers.
Features and benefits of ATR’s ‘-600 series’ ARMONIA cabin include:
● New wider, lightweight seats – ergonomically designed to ensure greater knee
clearance, an enhanced sense of space and increased under-seat capacity.
● 10 % more cabin storage space and 30% more carry-on capacity – up to
70% of passengers will be able to store their roller bags overhead.
● LED lighting – creating a warmer and more welcoming environment, while
improving energy efficiency and weighing less than other lighting systems.
● Optional two-class configuration – with first class offering wider seats (in 2+1
seats basic configuration), more space, windows for each row, and large armrest
tables.
● Optional jetway-capable forward door – with a new designed spacious
entrance area.

Filippo Bagnato, Chief Executive Officer of ATR, says: “Our partnership with
Giugiaro Design brings substantial prestige to the ATR ‘-600 series’ aircraft. To the
many advantages of ATRs in terms of operating costs, performance and
environmental friendliness, we are now adding the latest in attractive, comfortable
cabin interior design. Thanks to this new partnership, ATR ‘-600 series’
passengers will now experience a totally new level of comfort.”
Fabrizio Giugiaro, Co-Chairman and Styling Director of Giugiaro Design, says:
“ATR was just the partner we were looking for to translate the know-how we
attained in the car design field into the aviation sector. The project developed for
ATR was extremely motivating and challenging: co-operating with such a world
leader in the turboprop market meant remarkable, intense and interesting
exchange of experiences and inspirations, which we think are key success factors,
also for future programs. “
