KLM plans to begin work on creating a new business class look & feel on its fleet of 22 Boeing 747-400s: “By choosing to work with Hella Jongerius, KLM is opting to engage a top Dutch designer to help make our business-class passengers feel at home on board. As a designer, Hella has broad experience that she can apply to the needs of KLM and its customers, in accordance with the specific requirements for cabin interiors in the airline industry. Her previous projects demonstrate her ability to process such criteria into top-quality designs such as the ‘polder sofa’, which is both comfortable and beautiful. With her expertise and focus on quality, she is keenly aware of what makes a brand unique.” said the Managing Director KLM, Erik Varwijk |
