Greenpoint Zen concept is shortlisted by Design Awards
The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2023 has shortlisted Greenpoint Technologies' latest V-VIP interior concept, titled Zen, for the Private Jet Design Concept Award.
Make mine a double.

Bothell, Washington-headquartered business jet completion centre Greenpoint Technologies has curated a B777X 'Zen' interior for a distinguished jetsetter with the desire to escape and reconnect with nature. Inspired by the natural flow of a Japanese Zen garden, Greenpoint designers incorporated elements including fine rocks and greenery and sustainable, natural materials to create a calm and peaceful environment. The result is a high-technology aircraft cabin featuring a tranquil, modern design.

“The Zen concept began with a floorplan layout catering to the client's preferences and aircraft mission requirements. The B777X offers so much space, range and comfort the design possibilities are endless. Greenpoint Design utilised the aircraft's immense architecture and space by creating a floorplan layout inspired by the flow of a Japanese Zen garden. The result was an expansive, graceful and bright interior cabin,” says design director Annika Wicklund.

The International Yacht & Aviation Awards recognises the best in design from across the globe. IYAA awarded Greenpoint the Private Jet Design Concept Award in 2022 for its BBJ MAX 8 interior concept, titled Retreat, and shortlisted Greenpoint's Zen concept in 2023. Winners will be announced on 9 June, 2023 at the Awards Ceremony in Venice, Italy.
