The originality of the thin seat project stems from the use of a cushion pan in a thermoplastic material with controlled deformation. As the cushion pan bears part of the deformation that in normal conditions is absorbed by the foam, this means that the latter can be thinner without affecting the seat’s comfort. In 2007, CRF worked on the industrialisation of the product, in collaboration with supplier Johnson Controls, and on maintaining performance, seeking to comply with this module’s stringent lightness constraints while also containing variable costs
