The 00. luxury private jet sport seat. - The final full-scale model presented to a team of aircraft engineers and upper management (including Vice President) of the leading major aircraft corporation. Believe it or not, one of the head engineers requested this color combonation for our model- he wanted the model be extremely attention-getting for aerospace trade shows... and it is. The next time you sit in a $50-million-dollar private jet, pay attention to the seat... it may be the 00.

The 00. alias rendering - Acting as a design-manager of a 4-person design team, we created a sport-themed private jet concept seat for a major private jet aircraft corporation. The seat features two-tone leather, a wrap-around carbon fiber shell (customer can also choose aluminum), an innovative roller footrest, full-berthing, and a ghost touch-screen control panel. Human factors was our number one concern, FAA regulations must be met, and interaction design with the interface was performed.
