Kongo's work transforms the extra-large biz-jet
into a flying private art gallery. e signature
cabin features textiles, carpets, prints, and
accessories adorned with the artist's boldly
patterned prints in a mix of monochrome and
color—think sophisticated greyscale-patterned
sofas with brightly colored accent cushions, and
dynamic black-and-white carpets with bold
splashes of vermillion red. Parts of the main
lounge are even hand-painted by Kongo himself,
adding a bespoke touch to each aircraft.
It's not only about looks, however. e ACJ
design team prioritized functionality and made
the most of the extra-large fuselage, which is
twice as wide as conventional business jets,
allowing for a table that seats up to eight guests,
and plenty of space for rest, entertainment, and
fine dining.
