Embracing the Caribbean Identity:

As unique as each snowflake in Canada and every grain of sand in Trinidad and Tobago, cultural identity is a complex concept. The Caribbean Identity is a celebration of diversity and harmony, uniting various cultures across borders and oceans. At Caribbean Airlines, we prioritize authenticity, collaborating with local partners who understand our rich culture. This collaboration led to a striking color palette that echoes the Caribbean’s vibrancy.

Captivating Color Palette:

Our lounge’s aesthetics come alive with a bold color palette. From vivid plum to eye-catching orange, Rejane Limited and designer Abiola Andrews have artfully woven every hue into a cohesive space. The orange seating fabric is complemented by flowers and calligraphy, while purple fabric harmonizes with structural elements and illustrations. Caribbean Airlines Lounge

Sharing Cultural Stories:

Cultural identity is more than colors; it’s a feeling of community, language, and shared symbols. In our dining area, walls adorned with colloquialisms and imagery offer a glimpse into Caribbean culture. This focal point invites you to explore and relate to our rich heritage.

Experience Elevated Travel:

Caribbean Airlines’ redesigned Caribbean Club Lounge redefines your pre-flight experience. Join us in celebrating diversity, comfort, and the spirit of the Caribbean. Explore, relax, and connect in a space designed for you.”

Picking up the Tempo

BioSteel Centere - Toronto Raptors 03

Comfort and Functionality 

The NBA Playoffs are well underway, making it the perfect time to showcase this remarkable project completed for the Atlantic Division Champions; Toronto Raptors. The BioSteel Centre is a State-of-the-Art basketball practice facility designed to make the Raptors one of the NBA’s elite.  The project included the incredible Guernsey Architectural Firm, and the expertise of Borgo Contract Seating.   The Tempo is the most elegant fixed seating solution on the market; a timeless design, upholstered in fine Italian leather makes these chairs fit for a king.

The wood details on the Tempo are custom stained to match the accent wood pieces found throughout the facility, tying the space together. Professional athletes typically do not fall within the 5th and 95th percentile when dealing with furniture. Chairs can often be too narrow, and seat heights too low. To ensure these seats fit just right, these seats were custom designed specifically for the needs of the Toronto Raptors, allowing for the likes of the 7 Footer, Jonas Valanciunas, to be able to watch endless hours of tape in unsurpassed comfort. Of course, cupholders were added for a convenient place to keep their BioSteel sports drink.
