Project Title: Singapore Airlines Business Class Seats and Cabin

Launched: October 2006

Redesigned and relaunched: October 2007 for Airbus A380

Singapore Airlines New Business Class seat was developed by JPA's design engineers and interior designers over two years. The brief was to create an uncluttered and luxurious personal area whilst pushing the boundaries of space and privacy. JPA created the design ethos of 'luxury residential' to indicate a comfortable private area where travellers enjoy a sense of calm and ownership, whilst being surrounded by the finest materials and craftsmanship.

Key to these themes and incorporated into the seat and cabin lay out are: Direct aisle access for every passenger, 34" wide seat, super wide horizontal bed featuring a dedicated sleeping surface, stowage for passenger's luggage at each seat, a sleek monitor module which conceals a range of passenger amenities including a 16" widescreen LCD TV, and a large multi-adjustable one piece dining/work table.

Project Title: Northern Belle

Launched: May 2000

The challenge was to create six individually styled dining carriages to reflect the luxurious "Belle" trains of the 1930's within relatively contemporary Mark II former BR rolling stock, using traditional materials and details while complying with current safety and engineering requirements.

Each carriage was gutted and rebuilt under JPA’s supervision before the hand crafted interiors were installed using veneered panelling, leathers, wool carpets and moquette upholstery. The brass light fittings were produced using original moulds.

Hand crafted, unique marquetry panels based on designs by JPA reflect the stately homes and castles that the carriages are named after.

JPA also designed the traditionally inspired livery, including alterations to the carriage doors.
