SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORAGE

1 . A system for storage, the system comprising:

a passenger seat, the passenger seat being coupled to a floor of an aircraft;

a drawer under the passenger seat, the drawer being configured to open perpendicular to a front side of the passenger seat; and

a light coupled to a base of the passenger seat, the light being above the drawer, the light being configured to illuminate an interior of the drawer at a first brightness when the drawer is in an open state and to provide aisle lighting at a second brightness when the drawer is in a closed state, the second brightness being less than the first brightness.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the drawer comprises a push-to-release latch.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the drawer comprises a drawer face, the drawer face being free of a handle.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the drawer face has a shape conforming to a lower edge of the base of the passenger seat.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the base of the passenger seat comprises an arch profile with an irregular shape and the drawer face comprises a shape of an irregular trapezoid with rounded top corners.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the light comprises a white light and a colored light.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the colored light is configured to be on and the white light is configured to be off when the drawer is in the closed state.

8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the white light is configured to be on when the drawer is in the closed state.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the colored light is configured to be on when the drawer is in the closed state.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the colored light is off when the drawer is in the closed state.

11 . A system for underseat storage, the system comprising:

a drawer, the drawer being configured to open with a push, a drawer face of the drawer being free of a handle, the drawer opening in a first direction along two or more slides;

a drawer base under the drawer, the drawer being coupled to the drawer base; and

an aircraft seat over the drawer, wherein the aircraft seat faces perpendicular to the first direction, the drawer base being coupled to feet of the aircraft seat.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the aircraft seat comprises a seat base, the drawer being covered by the seat base in a closed state.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the seat base comprises an arch profile with an irregular shape in a side view.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the seat base further comprises a light mounted above the drawer, the light being configured to provide illumination at a first brightness of an aisle next to the aircraft seat.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the light is further configured to provide illumination at a second brightness of the drawer in an open state, the second brightness being greater than the first brightness.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the illumination at the first brightness has a first color and the illumination at the second brightness has a second color, the second color being different from the first color.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the second color is white.

18 . A method for storage, the method comprising:

pushing on a drawer face of a drawer, the drawer being under a passenger seat, the pushing releasing a latch;

opening the drawer, wherein opening the drawer activates a white light coupled to a seat base of the passenger seat, the white light being positioned to illuminate the opened drawer; and

closing the drawer, wherein closing the drawer deactivates the white light.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the passenger seat faces a first direction and the drawer opens in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction.

20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein opening the drawer deactivates a colored light and closing the drawer activates the colored light.
