The Move seats won't necessarily give you more space, but it may make what space you do have more pleasant.

The seating concept is made of smart textile wrapped around an aluminum frame.

The smart textile is made using conductive yarn

The conductive yarn is connected to a series of sensors and a smartphone app.

The seat sends electrical currents down through the conductive yarn to adjust the firmness of the seat. The seat's sensors also monitor temperature, tension, pressure, and movement.

There are several usage modes including massage, mealtime, and sleep.

There are also storage pouches made of smart pressure sensitive fabric that can detect if you've accidentally left your phone or another personal item.

The seat also comes with a rotating tray table and an optional inflight entertainment system.
