Look Inside a Private Jet Designed by Marc Newson
Interesting... I like Marc Newson's work - love the carpet design, the shower, the door-frame and paired windows, but, without being too critical, I noticed a couple of details in the pics above that jump out as being a bit sloppy for a mid-level designer, let alone someone like Mr. Newson. First, what is going on under the "desk"? I understand that the plane has difficult shapes to work with, but those lines look horrible. This just looks like someone overlooked the detail during the design process and had to force fit some already made parts during installation. Second, the "control panel" on the seats do not fit. The panel is rectangular in shape while the recessed surface supporting the panel is trapezoidal. It looks like they took an off the shelf control panel and stuck it on their already designed chair. I think a trapezoidal bezel on the panel matching the chair would have worked better. I know, I know, very picky, but details matter. Also, the large table looks blah.
You always get my laughs Mr. Noe! Great review.
Marc Newson totally gets it. There's this mix of 70's irony with straight up travel/flight fascination and multiple nods to functionality. Was this a tight design brief, or do you think he was given bags of currency and told to get after it?
I'm guessing it's gotta be the latter!
