China’s Haeco Private Jet Solutions (HPJS) introduced here at its EBACE show display (Booth B059) the new “East Meets West” widebody cabin concept, combining traditional Asian design elements with Western motifs. Based on the Airbus A330-200 cabin, the interior concept is adaptable to any widebody aircraft, said Henry Chan, commercial vice president of the Xiamen-based company.

The Asian design elements include latticework and silk embroidered Fromental wallpaper with dragon and bamboo representations, while Western style can be seen in its bold color contrasts of matte gold and pale green, and open, clean lines, the combination creating a luxurious and expansive cabin that creates “a comfortable feeling like a home,” Chan said.

A generous entrance area and first class seating area in the front of the cabin gives way to a study with book lined shelves and lounge. The dining room features a sushi bar. “It’s a new gourmet concept,” Chan said. “If you swing by Tokyo, you can buy fresh catch of the day” and have it prepared on board.

The aft cabin includes a private room, and master area with en suite bath, and an exercise area with treadmill and stationary bicycle. The “East Meets West” concept complements the “Xiao Yao” feng shui-inspired narrow-body interior that HPJS debuted at Dubai’s MEBA show last December.
