Star Alliance and Swissport Aspire Lounges at Schiphol Airport

INTOS realized the interior design made by the architects of D/DOCK for two lounges at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport. These lounges for Star Alliance and Swissport share the same space but are still separate areas. The brand new lounges where opened in the spring of 2019. INTOS made all the fixed furniture.

Customer request

D/DOCK has designed the two lounges so that each part has it’s own personality but still form a unity. The use of warm materials create a luxurious atmosphere and provide a space in which passengers can relax. D/DOCK asked INTOS to custom make and install the furniture for both lounges.

Approach

The large tables are veneered with dark oak, we have incorporated charging points for phones and laptops. The counters and the wine bar have a countertop made out of Solid Surface, a hygienic material because it is seamless, non-porous and because of it’s density. We have installed several glass dividers to give passengers the feeling of privacy. The fixed benches alongside the walls are lined with soft leather and we have incorporated charging points here as well. Various parts of the walls are lined with woodwork to create a warm atmosphere. The furniture in the washrooms are also made out of Solid Surface, this is the ideal material to keep clean.

Result

The result is two different areas with their own look and feel that fit together and form one lounge. The space has a warm and luxurious atmosphere that allows passengers to relax, rest, work and refresh before travelling.
