Wooden Concorde Speedform
$2,950.00

In 2019, we got approval for a large aluminum Concorde sculpture for the Peninsula Hotel. In the initial process of pitching our design to the hotel, we made small models called maquettes to show the client. Over time, we became pretty darn good at making attractive four-foot-long airplanes and thought they would make great Christmas gifts for friends, family, and some close customers.
We worked with a skilled wood machine shop in Los Angeles to create a 3D form of the Concorde. The process was more challenging than we anticipated. They had to combine different blocks of walnut to make an airplane body, wings, and tail, making it look seamless and like one block of wood.
Now that we have launched our full-scale Concorde sculpture at the hotel, we've decided to release a small run of commissioned Concorde speedforms featuring the British Airways logo in gold foil. These will be made as orders come in and minor customizations can be discussed with each client.
