Vanema Aerospace

Vanema was established in 2016, gathering a team of experts exploring possibilities of how to integrate Octaspring technology into aircraft seating. Vanema has exclusive rights to develop the Octapsring technology for the aviation industry and is led by the entrepreneur Sandi Cesko, the owner of Studio Moderna and other ventures who’s mission is to reinvent the comfort of flying, by changing the design and comfort of the seats.

When Sandi first discovered the innovative Octaspring® technology, he saw the potential to integrate it into bedding products worldwide. Today, Octaspring® mattresses and pillows are available in 30 countries under the brand names Dormeo and Dormeo Octaspring®. Recognizing the technology’s unique benefits, Sandi knew there was further promise for Octaspring® applications to improve virtually any type of seating – from home furniture to automotive and aircraft seating. 

For more than a year, we have been working in close partnership with Airbus, Stelia and Boxmark to develop the first prototypes of a lightweight seat solution for first, business and economy class seats. The resulting joint project is a winner of the prestigious 2017 Crystal Cabin Awards.
