I think that picture was already shown after the introduction of NF to show what they thought of and how they developed the actual seating layout

Business class seats have moved on rather a lot since the birth of Club World and I'd hoped that BA would have allowed more longitudinal spacing to abolish stepping over legs - overcoming the main objection of this cabin.
I disagree. The new LH or Continental Seats are worse than this especially for single travellers. The BA Seat is still good. My pet hate is the wiblly-wobbly Foot rest and the lack of a drink table but other than that I still think that this seat is as good as most other Business-class seats (yes, there are some that are better). I do agree though that the middle seat could feel somehow claustrophobic, however I think that it would be my seat in the future. I stopped looking out of the window long time ago and this seat gives me privacy and no one is stepping over my feet, plus if I want to leave and the trolley comes down the aisle I just take the other aisle

p.s. was almost hoping for VITRA chairs on the next plane when I watched the Video...
