The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2026

Sarah Larranaga Aviation Design

Sarah Larranaga Aviation Design has revealed a new private jet concept for a Bombardier Global 7500 that unites timeless luxury with a quietly powerful message of hope. Created for a private client, the project was conceived to deliver an uplifting statement through both exterior and interior design, demonstrating how aviation design can communicate meaning as well as refinement.

The most distinctive element of the project lies in its collaborative and educational dimension. Alongside the design development, Sarah Larranaga Aviation Design worked on a special aviation mentorship initiative with students from San Jose State University in California. As part of this programme, an exterior design competition was held, with the winning concept created by student Cynthia Ajvatz. Her emerald gradient exterior was selected for its striking yet elegant expression, symbolising hope and promoting a positive, unifying message as the aircraft travels around the world.

The exterior’s dynamic emerald tones are subtly drawn into the interior, creating a carefully balanced palette in which soft green accents sit alongside dominant neutral hues. This continuity establishes a calm, welcoming atmosphere, reinforcing the sense of safety, comfort and serenity that defines a successful private aviation interior. The result is a space designed to feel like a refined extension of home, offering passengers a tranquil environment for long-range travel.

Rather than treating the exterior and interior as separate experiences, Sarah Larranaga Aviation Design ensured that both speak the same visual language. Materials, colours and mood flow seamlessly from outside to inside, creating a cohesive narrative that strengthens the emotional impact of the design. The emerald green becomes a subtle thread, linking the aircraft’s outward presence with its inner sanctuary.

At its core, the concept is driven by the idea that hope connects people. In a world often defined by division, the Global 7500 design aims to remind viewers and passengers alike of shared values and common ground. Through restrained elegance and thoughtful symbolism, this private jet concept demonstrates how design can transcend aesthetics to deliver a message that is both timeless and universally resonant.
