Aircraft interior concept based on new patent pending NORDAM innovation wins best cabin concept award

Aerospace manufacturing and repair company NORDAM and design consultancy Teague have won the industry’s coveted Crystal Cabin Award in the cabin concepts category. The award was presented during the annual Aircraft Interiors Expo conference in Hamburg, Germany in mid-June, where the two companies were among more than 600 trade exhibitors.

The winning entry, known as Elevate, uses an innovative system to allow for cabin furnishing concepts that can appear to float. It is the first cabin concept to utilize Nbrace^™, a patent pending monument attachment technology created by NORDAM (patent pending) to increase the range of possible passenger cabin configurations.

“This is a very proud moment for NORDAM and Teague. We are absolutely thrilled by the success of this team effort,” NORDAM CEO Meredith Siegfried Madden said. “Elevate perfectly demonstrates the benefits of our Nbrace^™ innovation which creates attractive cabin aesthetics, roominess, passenger comfort and privacy.”

Nbrace^™ supports a broad range of furniture designs. It offers enhanced airline brand differentiation through beautiful and comfortable cabins. NORDAM expects Nbrace^™ certification in 2024.
