BREAKING AWAY FROM THE MOULD

priestmangoode — Mon, 13 May 2013 14:05:11 +0000

Paul was in New York last week for the launch of Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship, Breakaway. She weighs in at a massive 146.600 tons, is 1062 feet long and has 18 decks. A crew of 1640 looks after just over 4000 passengers.

We designed all staterooms, mini-suites and cabins on the ship. Our designs move away from traditional cruise ship interiors and offer passengers a high end look more akin to a modern New York apartment.

THAI AIRWAYS

priestmangoode — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:23:09 +0000

We recently completed a new First Class cabin design for Thai Airways’ newly refurbished Boeing 747. Launched at a ceremony in London last month, the new design is the first implementation of a larger cabin vision we are carrying out across a range of the airline’s fleet.

The new Oasis First Class seat onboard the Boeing 747 was inspired by Thai spa retreats and offers the height of luxury, tranquillity and calm. Shades of gold and purple reflect the Thai Airways brand colours, while muted grey tones and accents of wood combine to offer an exclusive onboard environment. Wooden angled privacy louvres enable passengers to see out but prevent others looking in to each suite. Materials such as teak-look laminate and silk-like décor foils reference the rich patterns, materials and textures found around Thailand.

Following on from the B747, we are currently developing new Thai Contemporary interiors across all classes for Thai Airways’ fleet of B777 as well as the new generation aircraft on order, A350 and B787.

TAM AIRLINES

We recently completed a cabin re-design for Brazil’s national air carrier TAM Airlines. Luke Hawes, director at Priestmangoode and head of the TAM project explains: “Our work for TAM is crucial to their brand development, giving them the customer experience they need as they move up to become a major international carrier. The designs, which are being rolled out across the entire fleet, present TAM as an important international player and give them the tools they need to compete with the world’s other major international carriers.”

The First Class cabin, which was unveiled last week, offers the most comfortable cabin in the sky. Hawes continues: ‘Our concept was to design a ‘Home away from Home’, moving away from hard finishes and creating a softer, luxurious cabin more in keeping with high-end interior design. The cabin comprises four seats designed as beautiful pieces of free-standing furniture. The two central seats have a feature sofa that replaces standard footstools, offering a relaxed and comfortable social setting for passengers travelling together.

THAI SMILE

When Thai Airways International made the decision to start a new budget airline with its narrow body fleet of A320s, it enlisted the help of our multi-award winning design consultancy.

Our brief for the design of Thai Smile was built around five words: friendly, fun, vibrant, speedy and trendy. Following a series of research visits to Thailand, we used inspiration and influences from contemporary Thai culture, its people, landscapes and colours to inform the brand’s identity.

Working on all design aspects from the outset enabled us to develop a distinct brand identity for Thai Smile, one that remains unmistakably Thai across the entire passenger journey.

CHINESE NEW YEAR AT NUMBER 10 DOWNING STREET

Last week, Paul was invited to No 10 to celebrate UK-China relations at a Chinese New Year Downing Street reception.

In 2010, Paul accompanied the Prime Minister on a trade delegation to China. Priestmangoode has since opened its first overseas office in the country, and last year received the inaugural Windsor Award for Excellence in Export of British Services to China by the British Chamber of Commerce.
