Convention and Exhibition Center. The units, which were developed for the Boeing 757 airliner, emphasize relaxation and comfort: one of the new models was designed to enable women to apply makeup more easily, while the other features a wood-grain finish and sophisticated styling. A side-lit mirror in both new lavatory units provides a clear, well-illuminated image of the passenger's face. The female-oriented unit includes a shelf to place makeup cases, a white and pink color scheme and marble-like countertop. The sink in both of the units is in the corner to maximize usable space on the countertop. In both units, the ceiling lamps employ energy-saving, long-lasting light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Although Boeing stopped production of the midsized aircraft last year, numerous 757s remain in service, and demand for value-added renovations is mounting as airlines seek to differentiate their airliners.
