However, THE Room FX has been specially designed to fit within the Boeing 787-9&#8217;s narrower fuselage without compromising comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alternating front-and-rear seat arrangement, thinner privacy doors, and sculpted backrest lines create a cabin layout that mimics widebody spaciousness in a mid-sized jet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THE Room FX is the result of years of collaboration between ANA, French seat manufacturer Safran Seats, and UK-based design firm Acumen. Safran led the engineering and manufacturing process, while Acumen contributed to the seat\u2019s modern aesthetic and ergonomic detailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Victoria Foy, President &amp; CEO of Safran Seats, called it a \u201cstep-change in comfort and innovation.\u201d Ian Dryburgh, CEO of Acumen, emphasized the product\u2019s &#8220;rare balance of flexibility and elegant engineering,\u201d designed to exceed premium passenger expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ANA-New-F-7-1024x683-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ANA-New-F-7-1024x683-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ANA-New-F-7-1024x683-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ANA-New-F-7-1024x683-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ANA-New-F-7-1024x683-1-50x33.webp 50w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ANA-New-F-7-1024x683-1-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ANA-New-F-7-1024x683-1-450x300.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All Nippon Airways Boeing 777-300ER First-Class &#8220;Suite&#8221;; Photo- ANA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design Highlights: Functionality Meets Elegance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The FX in THE Room FX stands for &#8220;Future Experience.&#8221; Key features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Expanded personal space<\/strong>: A larger side console for personal items, increased seat width, and improved bed length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Versatile reclining<\/strong>: A pre-recline mechanism transforms the backrest into a lounge-style sofa.
