VIP Completions has unveiled the spectacular interior of a completely refurbished Dassault Falcon 7X. Acquisition of the aircraft was brokered by sister company and turnkey aircraft dealer-broker SmartJets, and the design was planned by interior design and décor studio ARRCC.
This project is exceptional because it redefines the boundaries of aircraft interior design. For example, custom dynamic LED accent lights are seamlessly integrated into the headliner; cabin bulkheads have been covered in a sand-blasted bronze mirror finish that creates a mood of modern opulent comfort; and panelling has been trimmed with solid white oak fluting custom-made to match the finest home furnishings.
“Our client, a passionate and driven fintech entrepreneur, wanted to push the envelope in terms of what an aircraft refurbishment could accomplish. The results are totally unprecedented on any business jet. For us, this was a true end-to-end project. Our SmartJets team identified and acquired the optimal aircraft. Then, the talented team at ARRCC, having also completed multiple projects for this client, delivered the final design. We incorporated the custom exterior paint work in parallel to the interior work. Finally, our VIP Completions team made the design into a tangible reality within a very aggressive 10-week timeline. Working together, we have delivered an aircraft interior of unique beauty and refinement,” says Ben Shirazi, president, VIP Completions and president, SmartJets.
“Our team is so grateful to have collaborated alongside VIP Completions and SmartJets to create an airborne experience that we hope will set the standard for jet interior design in the future. The client had a strong sense of what he wanted; timeless, contemporary, glam but neutral, echoing the same design brief of his homes through bespoke fittings to custom-designed furniture,” adds Jon Case, director and designer, ARRCC.
Offering exceptional levels of luxury, comfort and the convenience of latest-generation technologies, this aircraft comfortably seats 16 passengers.
