Special Topic
In today’s lectures and seminars, using multiple devices—such as laptops and tablets—has become the norm.

Aile, meaning “wings” in French, is an innovative armrest table designed to meet these evolving needs. Inspired by the smooth motion of a bird spreading its wings, it combines a spacious tabletop with effortless operation and quiet storage. Aile represents a next-generation standard for creating functional and comfortable learning environments.

Spacious A3-Sized Table

Aile’s defining feature is its A3-sized tabletop, offering ample space for a 15-inch laptop alongside notebooks and other materials—ideal for auditorium settings.

Built for long-term use, the table features a highly durable structure that has passed rigorous strength testing*. Its robust design ensures reliable performance and peace of mind, even in high-traffic facilities.

*Meets Level 4 (the highest level) of the Writing Surface Test required by European Standard EN12727.
(Passed: Static load of 300N x 10 cycles; Durability test of 150N x 25,000 cycles). Maximum load capacity: 30 kg.

Quiet, Smooth Operation and Safety

Another key advantage of Aile is its quiet and refined operation, delivering a premium user experience.

The gentle motion mechanism incorporates dual dampers at the joints to precisely control movement. With a light touch, the tabletop opens smoothly and returns to its stored position slowly and quietly, preserving the calm atmosphere of the space.

For added safety, Aile is equipped with an anti-panic mechanism. If a user stands up suddenly or in an emergency, the table automatically follows the movement and returns to the armrest under its own weight, quickly clearing the aisle.

 

Space-Saving Design with Unique Diagonal Rotation

Aile features a unique rotation mechanism that combines vertical and diagonal axes to maximize spatial efficiency.

This diagonal motion allows the tabletop to move along a compact trajectory, significantly reducing the space required compared to conventional tables. As a result, adequate aisle width is maintained even with a reduced seat pitch, enabling higher seating capacity without compromising comfort.
