Saab Zenith is a modular interior concept for a VLJ (Very Light Jet).
Saab Aviation challenged me to create a modular interior that makes it possible to transform the fuselage between a luxury business jet setup into a medical transport Jet within 30 minutes. I accepted the seemingly impossible task and came up with an interior that is split up in segments which can be configured according to the assignment. The goal is to offer an option to Airline companies to charter the same plane for different flight tasks with a very short ground time.
The interior evokes an open and light atmosphere inspired by Scandinavian design and nature. The business jet offers luxury within relaxation or working. The medical transport interior esthetics is more focused on comfort for patients and paramedics.
