From today's Boston Globe:
Edesé Doret Industrial Design Inc., a New York jet and yacht design company, estimates that about 60 percent of its clients are Fortune 500 companies, said Edesé A. Doret Jr., the company's president and founder.
The rest, he said, are heads of state.
The company's latest project is a customized version of the Airbus A380, the largest commercial aircraft in the world. Most airlines that have ordered the new plane are expected to configure the plane to carry about 500 passengers, but one Doret is working on is being fitted with three galleys, a master bedroom, master bathroom with a Jacuzzi and shower, two dining areas, and spiral staircases. The kicker: a fabricated desert oasis, complete with floor pillows, low tables and a mosaic of the Sahara on the walls.
He wouldn't disclose the owner.
