Essaouira
Private Aviation
A private jet design that draws inspiration from Essaouira, a charming coastal town in Morocco, the Embraer Lineage 1000E has been fully customized so that the cabin experience is built around a story, where each section of the cabin unfolds into a unique chapter, an enriched experience.
Local inspirations becoming a transcendental design
A private jet design emerged from Lie Alonso’s travels, where the twins immersed into the culture, exploring the city, the souks, the food, the people, the beauty, the order, and the chaos – bringing an artistic approach into the design process.
Welcome to a new way of flying.
The foyer invites the passenger and directs the eye to an oil pastel painting, suggesting that this will be a distinct experience. It is time to pause and appreciate, to be present and delight the senses.
Behind the curtains and through the intricate hexagonal stone flooring, the galley has been transformed into an open chef dining experience. Turning the galley into a relaxing atmosphere filled with Middle Eastern motifs, aromas, and exotic spices from the chef’s cooking, the passenger is able to appreciate a unique journey while surrounded by intrinsic custom details.
The flight experience becomes a pleasure to the senses.
Passengers sit on the high bar for cocktail drinks surrounded by natural greenery. Seasonal plants and flowers are hung onto a wooden arch, which exudes warm lighting in a soft gradient, from burnt yellows to sunset pinks, reflecting through the plants while creating a cascading natural light effect and casting shadows of leaves around the cabin.
The absolute care for material finishes is shown through balancing the contrast of not only colours, but also scales of textures, patterns and sensations. This is evident with the high bar countertops made of rustic walnut, foregrounding the black marble galley. The rawness of wood contrasts the austere polished stone.
A high level of customization is already expressed on the galley doors, where plating inlays were designed by LIEALONSO in their artistic signature – from the avant-garde of art nouveau. The use of smoky quartz on the galley countertops bring a sense of deep relaxation and can diminish the negative effects of radiation and electromagnetic fields.
Celebrating the journey
After watching the specialty chef perform their craft, the passengers step into the dining area, walking on a custom carpet handmade with a blend of wool, cashmere and silk, designed by LIEALONSO featuring Moroccan motifs from the designers’ travels.
The skylight is coated with Vantablack, known as the deepest black substance that absorbs light, creating an infinite effect of depth. Carefully placed lights create the illusion of staring into the infinity of the cosmos. The dining table in black glass brings forth the perception of duality.
Becoming immersed into the experience
After dinner, passengers move onto the lounge area, where they enjoy a martini and dessert. Custom lighting was designed by LIEALONSO alluding to the fusion of Moroccan and art nouveau inspirations.
Lounge with ease, radiance & exuberance
Highly refined details that create unexpected pleasures of the senses. A vision of exuberance. The vibrancy of diversity curated in a cohesive story. A design dialogue filled with deeper meanings.
Flying
in a wonderous state of mind
The furniture was designed to create an intimate atmosphere blending the classic with the contemporary. Careful thought was given to the relationship between clean, structured lines merging into sensitive curvatures to form a fluid and elegant aesthetic that is enhanced by antique brass detailing throughout the interior.
The use of colour evokes a liberating feeling to dive into the imagination. LIEALONSO created a scheme in nuances of champagne silks and grays that is contrasted by vivid colours such as burgundy and dark turquoise velvets, adding to the richness of the cabin experience.
Aircraft exterior design
Creating a work of art
The exterior livery complements the organic natural motifs with a custom hand-drawn design in champagne gold contrasted by a rich black fuselage, establishing a sense of bespoke luxury with artistic flair.
