VIP projects demonstrate an emphasis on bridging the gap between design and engineering.

With design pushing the boundaries like never before, ctm design says one core challenge remains – to maintain the design intent from concept right through to completion. In the world of aircraft interior design, where luxury finishes and creative innovation are in high demand for VIP projects, design consultancy ctm design works hard to achieve this balance.

“Our recently completed interiors, both commercial and VIP, have succeeded in taking aircraft design to a new level, while making the final creation acceptable from an engineering perspective,” says Robin Dunlop, director at ctm design. “From pushing new materials to refreshing mechanical or structural designs, we work closely with engineers and completion centres to

challenge design guidelines, and provide realistic solutions so that our innovative interior designs are achieved.”

Recent aircraft designs completed by ctm design include an A318 for a Saudi based gentleman – a ‘triple A’ VIP interior, for which the company worked closely with the completion centre. The result is classic, luxurious and elegant, comprising a private suite with bathroom, entrance, galley and lounge areas.

Dornier 328 ACJ jet conversion

ctm design has also completed designs for three separate Dornier 328 ACJ projects.  One of these was for a former motor racing driver – a jet conversion where the aim was to raise build quality as well as design finish. The sophisticated interior also had to meet the tech-savvy client’s high-tech entertainment needs with lightweight high-definition and digital infrastructure to secure the highest quality picture and sound in a luxury environment.

Complete aircraft interiors

Another project is a Fokker 70 for a European head of state – a refurbishment design for which ctm design worked with government officials and the head of state’s aides to bring the interior and in-flight entertainment (IFE) into the modern era.

Custom design “Each of these interior designs, whilst completely tailored to the client’s specification and meeting their desires for the ultimate in luxury interior design, has also achieved excellence in manufacture,” says Dunlop. “We are taking the headache out of the design, making it clearer for the engineering teams, without losing the innovative design.”

In addition to designing complete aircraft interiors for VIPs, ctm design has also created designs for first-class products on commercial airlines such as Emirates and Virgin – from seats to bar areas, sleeping quarters and crew rests. “Our technical expertise and creative design vision have allowed us to ensure ctm design’s creations are not just stunning – they are technically

achievable, meet the high standards and specification required, yet all the while, maintain innovative, luxury design finishes,” says Dunlop.

ctm design’s vision is to continue to exceed expectations in VIP aircraft interior design, whilst also applying its expertise and skills in other areas – such as yacht and property design.
