The design of the interior

The philosophy adopted by Pininfarina when designing the interior of the SukhoiSuperjet 100 was based on the passenger's needs.The general layout of the cabin of the SukhoiSuperjet 100 is inspired by principles of ergonomics and visual comfort, blending aesthetics with scientific, technological and engineering research.The cabin of the aircraft is more spacious and relaxing than that of most other aircraft in the same category.The password of the project developed by Pininfarina is well-being: the LED lighting system is able to vary the colour and intensity of the light at the various stages of the flight; the sober,

elegant design of the ceiling is in harmony with the environment thanks to scrupulous selection of the materials, the finishes and the chromatic balance.The SukhoiSuperjet 100 has a sober, elegant design and an airy, roomy interior.
