Core77

IconEye has a great interview up with Marc Newson on his design of the interiors for Qantas' new A380s (with plenty of photos). An excerpt:

So, was the goal with Qantas to restore the glamour?

Well, we had an opportunity to do that with this new aircraft type. I mean it was such a kind of "one off" opportunity as they say. Something like the A380 comes along only once in a generation, the last time it happened was the 747 and for a designer it's a unique experience, when you get to work with a project like that.

Read the rest to hear Newson sound off on why plane interiors have traditionally been so goddamn ugly, and what he's doing to change that.
