On July 8, Boeing rolls out its new, much-anticipated midsized 787 Dreamliner plane with a gala event at its Everett (Wash.) production facility. Many web presented this story but talk a little about interior design. then today i will have some story about Beoing Dreamliner interior design present to you.

…

Behind the Dreamliner’s interiors, designed by Seattle’s Teague, a firm with a 60-year relationship with Boeing. The Teague team strove for a design language that would convey a sense of comfort and offer subtle yet memorable cues meant to signal the Boeing brand. The idea is to help passengers recognize a Dreamliner as a Boeing jet, no matter which airline owns the plane (the planes also feature modular elements that can be customized).

Seen here is the plane’s entry, which features a soaring vaulted ceiling and a curvaceous, skylight-like overhead detail that gives a sense of space. “The idea is to welcome passengers to the airplane,” says Teague Vice-President Ken Dowd. Teague, in partnership with Boeing, focused on customer needs when developing its design strategy, using a combination of international airline surveys, personal anecdotes, and ethnographic-style research. Teague was involved from the start of the design process, which began in 2001.

The Teague team wanted to keep signature architectural details of the Dreamliner consistent throughout the plane. Seen here is a view of the cabin; visible is the continuation of the arch motif from the entryway. There is a bar-like area at the front of the coach-class section (toward the back of the plane) where passengers can stand and rest. It’s there to encourage them to move about and be both active and comfortable during the flight.

Teague also applied new material technologies to the window designs, which feature electrochromatic gel sandwiched between two pieces of glass. When electricity is flagged to the gel, the window dims or clears—meaning there is no need for cumbersome shades. The crew controls 93% of the shading action, but passengers have the final control of each window’s level of light filtering.

To keep passengers from feeling boxed in or cramped while in flight, Teague’s designers created an interior that “doesn’t look like a large tube. There’s a more room-like scale to provide a sense of comfort, as seen in this picture of an earlier mock-up of the cabin interior. The cabin also features the vaulted ceiling detail throughout, even toward the back of the plane. The cabin’s soothing lighting, provided by LED lights, can be set to mimic dusk, dawn, or daylight effects.

Teague and Boeing wanted to extend a sense of comfort to the pilot and co-pilot of the plane, too. So the Teague team designed the flight deck, seen here, to be harmonious with the sleek interior design of the rest of the plane and not just to have the generic, technical feel of most cockpits.

This is an image of the interior of the forthcoming Boeing 747-8 plane, a jumbo jet scheduled to begin flying in 2009. It features design elements that echo those found in the smaller 787 Dreamliner. Teague also worked on this plane’s interiors, and faced the challenge of carrying over elements from the Dreamliner to create a consistent brand message for other new Boeing planes. Notice the many curved lines and room-like scale, as well as the soft lighting.
