With this concept in mind, Frank recalls, "Exactly thirty days before the practice rounds kicked off, we got to work and began to dismantle the interior completely, stripping it down to the fuselage." e initial spark for the cabin's design and the color scheme came from a rug recently used in one of Frank's interior projects. Scott Group Studio, known in the industry for their high-quality bespoke carpets, reinterpreted the custom- dye wool that furnished the foundation for the balance of the interior's design. Seats were upholstered in high-performance soft, creamy white leather from Townsend and custom navy trim from Garrett Leather. Lower walls were outfitted with textured fabric from Holly Hunt and upper with leather from Tapis, another industry heavyweight. Custom gloss mahogany millwork, lined drawers, and Alicia Adams alpaca throws complete the clean and elegant overall look. It would only be fitting that all of the avionics and electronics were updated as well. It wasn't exactly the most relaxing month of Frank's life.

In the end, all the attention paid off. My client was able to arrive on time in style," explained Frank. Today, Frank and his team are celebrating the success of their new line of furniture and lighting for Arteriors Homes and spearheading the launch of a new collection for the esteemed Clarence House, which will officially launch worldwide in Paris at the upcoming Maison & Objet. As the firm's first guest designer in history, an addition of over 100 fabulous new fabrics and trimmings was added to this already iconic design house.
