AIRBUS A320 “STALLION”

​

The personalized interior design created for this Airbus A320 blends artisan craftsmanship and clean modern lines to provide a sensation of luxury. 

The aircraft is designed for 10 passengers with 2 VIP flight attendants. The layout consists of an entrance area with galleys and crew rest area, followed by a lounge and bar that can sit 10 passengers, a dining and meeting area, a private bedroom, and a bathroom with shower.

One of the main objectives of this design was to provide passengers with an exceptional feeling of refinement and sophistication by blending exclusive materials such as onyx flooring, straw marquetry, alabaster mosaic and uniquely designed decorative features, reminiscent of the Art Deco and Cubist art movements.

​

Modern French interior design features such as capitonné wall fabric panels and white marble flooring with black corner squares were blended into the design to provide a certain finesse.

​

Alabaster mosaic elements specifically designed and uniquely made for this project (lamps, sconce lights and decorative panels for bar medallion and shower) have been used throughout the cabin to give the interior a balanced feel with the dominant straight lines of the design.

“Angélique” and “Walking Figure”, limited-edition bronze sculptures from Jim Ritchie, greet passengers at the aircraft entrance area and are complemented by an eye-catching chrome-on-resin sculpture of a raging horse in the lounge.

​

This striking faceted horse sculpture was designed by Jean-Pierre Alfano as a statement piece in the  interior that ties into the Principal’s love of race horses. The art piece was made with molded resin, coated with 3 layers of chrome nickel plating.
