Airplane: corporate jet

Article Abstract:

Powell/Kleinschmidt Inc. learned what mistakes to avoid when designing for a confined space when it was asked by a Fortune 500 client to redesign its company jet. The firm chose to redesign the interior using a simple color combination of gray with red and blue accents to establish a dignified yet relaxing environment. The galley and the bathroom, on the other hand, were redesigned in stainless steel for a modern look and easy maintenance. The design firm also considered functionality, safety, economy and durability in choosing each material for the design.
