Thomasberg, Austria. 01 April 2025 . F/LIST, the Austrian-based pioneer of innovative luxury design, is introducing its portfolio of exquisite materials for premium commercial aircraft cabins during AIX 2025. A central highlight is the F/LAB Stone Inlay, which will be showcased to the commercial sector for the first time as part of a portfolio of original cabin interior materials at booth 6B62. Combining the best of both cutting-edge technology and artisanal skills to create an aviation-grade product the F/LAB Stone Inlay enables the beauty of natural stone to add elegance and unparalleled functionality to business and first-class cabins.
Engineered to endure the challenges of high-traffic commercial cabins and fully certified, each individually handcrafted and customized inlay is highly resistant to scratches, fluid, and chemical exposure. With a thin veneer measuring just 2.5 mm (0.098 inches), the F/LAB Stone Inlay minimizes weight while adding a sophisticated appearance and an enhanced customer experience.
The fully customizable F/LAB Stone Inlay, which can be applied to curved or flat surfaces, can be integrated into multiple cabin monuments, including table inlays, seat shells, countertops, bulkheads, integrated charging systems, and more. The slender veneer can be backlit to create ambient lighting or used to create striking features in first-class suites. The tailored offering extends to different stone types, colors, and textures, as well as laser engraving techniques to further expand design possibilities.
“A growing number of commercial airlines want to differentiate themselves from the competition, and our established materials portfolio is well-positioned to respond to this trend. With our naturally sourced premium products, we want to enable airlines to redefine the customer experience in their premium and first-class cabin interiors,” says Anita Gradwohl, Group Director, Sales F/LIST. Managing Director Michael Müller adds: “Our F/LAB Stone Inlay is the perfect example of how we can bring natural products into the cabin by creatively transforming them into practical, refined solutions that elevate the cabin ambiance. We work closely with customers, airlines, and design studios to create visually stunning, high-end materials while meeting the rigorous demands for durability, hygiene, and weight efficiency.”
In line with F/LIST’s commitment to sustainability and the aerospace sector’s environmental goals, the F/LAB incubator hub has created an ingenious portfolio of bio-based materials that support the aerospace industry’s commitment to a carbon-neutral future. In addition to the F/LAB Stone Inlay, F/LIST will be displaying F/LAB Aenigma, F/LAB Whisper Leather, and F/LAB Natural Oil varnish, which all adhere to the F/LIST sustainable philosophy in terms of production, materials, and weight efficiency. This eco-conscious approach minimizes waste and underscores the company’s dedication to responsible innovation.
F/LIST invites airlines, designers, manufacturers, and industry partners to visit booth 6B62 at AIX2025 to experience the F/LAB Stone Inlay firsthand. This innovative material is set to redefine commercial cabin interiors, offering an unparalleled combination of luxurious aesthetics, technical performance, and environmental responsibility.
