Bombardier and F/LIST Introduce New Material Lounge at Bombardier
London Biggin Hill Service Centre
Bombardier and F/LIST have announced the opening of a contemporary,
700-sq. ft. Material Lounge at Bombardier’s London Biggin Hill
Service Centre located at the London Biggin Hill Airport. The new
Material Lounge is the largest, most comprehensive portfolio of
interior materials, fabrics and components that Bombardier has
housed at one of its international service centres. It is also the
first time that F/LIST, the Austria-headquartered pioneer in the
production and generation of innovative luxury interiors for
exclusive business and private jets and residences, has created a
dedicated space showcasing its product portfolio outside of its
headquarters.
The full range of interior services offered by
Bombardier at the facility will be augmented by this addition of
the material lounge showroom. Managed by F/LIST, the carefully
curated selection of more than 1,300 samples representing wood
veneers, stone surfaces, leathers, fabrics, webbing materials and
metal finishes enables designers, owners, and operators to explore
the full collection of F/LIST materials. Visitors will also have
access to the innovative suite of F/LIST biobased materials, the
F/LAB Whisper Leather, Linfinium and Aenigma products, which
provide a rich selection of novel materials that support
sustainable design in the cabin.
“The addition of this design experience further
demonstrates our dedication to our European customers by providing
the expertise, support and tailored customer experience that our
owners and operators expect from us,” said Paul Thompson, Senior
Director, Bombardier Service Centres, International. “The provision
of such a unique offering underlines our ongoing commitment to
support all aspects of the ownership experience. The European
market is extremely important to us and this latest addition to our
largest Service Centre in Europe, and the largest business aviation
MRO in the UK confirms our commitment to world-class service and
support.”
“We are delighted to work with Bombardier on
this project and welcome the opportunity to provide a discreet
venue for our mutual customers, Bombardier designers, and our own
interior experts to conveniently see, touch and explore one of the
industry’s leading collections of cabin interior materials at a
single location. This modern space is more than a showroom and
sales tool; it is a place where we can help breathe life into
interior design concepts in a dedicated, inspirational
environment,” said Katharina List-Nagl, F/LIST CEO. “In addition to
the physical samples, a configurator is being made available to
render schematics, material selection and design ideas into a
visual representation of the cabin interior.”
