Versace Group/TAG Aircraft Interiors Secure First Airbus A319 Corporate Jet (ACJ)
(EBACE, Geneva - May 21, 2007) Gianni Versace S.p.A, in collaboration with TAG Aircraft Interiors Limited (TAG-AI) has secured its first interior design project for an Airbus A319 Corporate Jet (ACJ), one of the largest private aircrafts available. The aircraft will go into service in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The announcement was made at a press conference at the 2007 European Business Aviation Convention (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland where the Versace/TAG-AI collaboration announced its first catalogues of luxury interior designs for private jets, and displayed its armchair signature piece inspired by Versace's Home Couture collection.
Versace and TAG-AI joined forces in April last year to create this exclusive interior design service catering to the needs of private jet owners. In this partnership, Versace Design is responsible for all aspects of content, design and style, while TAG-AI, with the parent TAG Group's 30 years of experience as a world leader in the sale, completion and management of private jets, manages the sales, marketing, logistical, and technical aspects of the completion contract.
The European client's ACJ will have 16 seats in an exclusive four-compartment arrangement: salon, galley, business office, and stateroom with ensuite bathroom.
Versace will provide the aircraft interior with a unique design customized to the aircraft's specifications and floor plan. It will feature executive armchairs embossed with Versace's signature Greek fret motif, furniture made of the best materials, and exclusive finishes and luxury detailing spanning the four cabins of the aircraft.
"Versace is proud to have been chosen as the exclusive interior designer of this new Airbus A319 CJ by a very discerning client," says Giancarlo Di Risio, CEO of Gianni Versace S.p.A. "Versace's Home Collection team, along with our partners at TAG Aircraft Interiors, will be responsible for the design and implementation of this interior contract. Versace continues to represent Italian excellence and luxury not only within the fashion industry, but in every sector of exclusive design. This large private jet interior reflects, in its every detail, the excellence and luxury of the Versace brand."
"We are extremely pleased to have been awarded this contract," says Bijan Khezri, Managing Director of TAG Aircraft Interiors. "It is an attestation of the excellent fit of complementing competencies that exists between our two companies.
"As we move forward and plan for further design contracts, we will unveil two design catalogues for the Paris Airshow at Le Bourget in June. Covering the interior design applications for Bombardier Global XRS, Gulfstream 550, Boeing BBJ and Airbus ACJ aircraft, one catalogue will be for general distribution, while the other will be a limited-issue, numbered, collector's item, a magnificent silk-covered product that will be presented only to prospective clients and VIPs of the industry," Khezri added.
TAG Aircraft Interiors, a subsidiary of TAG Group, which in turn is the parent company of TAG Aviation, is the supplier of the most exclusive aviation interiors in the world. The company's clients are owners of aircraft the size of Bombardier Challenger 600 Series and larger.
