Italy's Iacobucci has brought a touch of Italian style and elegance to MEBA with a pair of its seats making their show debuts.
Both shell-surrounded models, the Milano single and Roma double seats are on display, with a third, the Venezia lounge, also available.
They all transform into full-flat beds and feature electromechanical controls with a single actuator.
"We are a small company but we are a very serious player in VIP aircraft," says marketing director Riccardo Palmeri Lolli.
A number of recent contract wins underline its credentials as a growing name in the segment, says Lolli.
It has recently been awarded a deal by fellow countrymen Piaggio Aerospace, which will see its seats installed on all the Genoa-based airframer's next-generation Avanti Evo model.
It will feature seat coverings from renowned manufacturer Poltrona Frau and Lolli believes the fact that all three companies involved are Italian is a strong selling point.
"The phrase 'Made in Italy' implies style and quality," he says. "There are a lot of opportunities for a company like us."
Other recent work includes providing the seats for VIP airliner completions for Comlux and the Four Seasons group, the aboard a customised Boeing 757.
"Really it is proof of how far we have come since we launched our first seat in 2010," he says.
