BMW designs luxurious Boeing 787 interior for Russian tycoon  

0 comments



Lavishness has no precincts. One of the hottest trends with the uber-rich is to be in possession of more expensive jets. We have earlier featured the lush BMW interiors of Airbus A350. Lately, Boeing contacted BMW’s DesignworksUSA group to create for them a conceptual interior for the already sumptuous Boeing 747. You can imagine the resulting design yourself.

All this has been done for an unnamed extra-rich Russian mogul who is in his mid-thirties. DesignworksUSA is all set to make the Boeing 747 a second, luxurious home for the client. The interiors of the luxury jet features a bar, scores of couches, beds, meeting rooms, stairs, and even enough space to fit in your BMW. Did I miss something? I don’t think so.
