L
uxury jet interiors tend to fall into two
distinct styles, with most celebrated
for either their understated elegance
or audacious opulence. Recently,
however, Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) partnered
with renowned contemporary artist Cyril Kongo
to create a colorful, special-edition cabin for
the ACJ TwoTwenty that introduces a new
kaleidoscopic interior vision.
Known as Mr. Colorful, Kongo is a pioneering
French graffiti artist who was a key figure in
establishing graffiti as a recognized art form.
His visually complex, abstract works have a
fluid expression. ey are a veritable explosion
of color—hence his moniker—and it's this
idiosyncratic style that defines the cabin of the
special edition ACJ TwoTwenty.
