In the 1990s, Andrée Putman was commissioned by Air France to redesign the interior of the Concorde, the ultimate symbol of supersonic travel. She set out to modernize the space with rigor and elegance, removing any decorative excess to prioritize clarity, fluidity, and comfort. The aisle was covered with a discreet carpet bordered by a black-and-beige triangular frieze, while the seats, upholstered in pearl gray fabric, were topped with white piqué headrests. Porcelain plates featured Klein blue trim — a visual nod to the “C” of Concorde — and Christofle silverware was delicately tied in embossed cardboard boxes. With this project, Putman paid careful attention to small details: lighting was redesigned as indirect illumination, and materials were chosen for both elegance and durability. She transformed the Concorde into more than a means of transport — it became a setting of discreet luxury, embodying the vision of French design where light, space, and quality combine to elevate every moment of the journey.
