Italian fashion house Versace and Swiss business aviation services firm TAG joined forces in April last year to create an interior design service for private jet owners. The duo have now secured their first interior design project for an Airbus A319 corporate jet.

One of the largest private aircraft available, the A319, is for a European client and will go into service in the fourth quarter of 2008. The interior will be designed by Versace which will have 16 seats in a four-compartment arrangement: salon, galley, business office, and stateroom with en suite bathroom and will
feature executive armchairs embossed with Versace's signature Greek fret motif.

The furniture will be made of the best materials, exclusive finishes and luxury detailing spanning the four cabins of the aircraft.

While all aspects of content, design and style are to be cared for by Versace, sales, marketing, logistical and technical aspects will be handled by TAG Aircraft Interiors.
