ACJC unveils Kaolin

Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC) has designed a new versatile ACJ319 cabin concept, Kaolin, which combines modernity and high-end technologies.

Based on customers’ requests and needs, ACJC’s Creative Design Studio, led by Sylvain Mariat, designed a VIP ACJ319 cabin interior, named Kaolin, giving priority to space, brightness and elegance through curved-lines and white tones. “With this interior we want to offer the perfect balance between modernity, originality and fluidity to match customers’ expectations and lifestyles,” says Mariat.

Certificated for 19 passengers, the Kaolin concept features a large crew-rest zone with five seats, a dining area including club-four and a club-two seating, followed by a large lounge area with a cosy Majliss meeting area. Then the cabin interior proposes an original VIP zone with six individual mini-suites, and finally a master bedroom with a club-seat integrated into the side-ledge, plus an ensuite bathroom. 

This configuration provides the different cabin functionalities that a customer would expect; namely a public zone for meeting and dinner, and a private zone. The VIP area is the perfect answer with its six individual suites, fully equipped with the latest technologies, convertible seats and dedicated storage.  “By creating curved-line mini-suites, our objective was to create aestheticism which optimises the living space,” explains Sylvain Mariat. “The integration of a cylindrical sliding bar and evolutive, clover-shaped, low table in the lounge area strengthened this wish,” he adds.

Kaolin also includes the latest high-end IFE and connectivity technologies such as Ka-band, and full High-Definition (HD) Audio and Video On Demand (AVOD).
