The design evokes some of his prior works such as that of the Eslite bookstores in Taiwan and the Palais De Chine Hotel Taipei, and the idea was to create a sophisticated, calming and serene space onboard. His intention in both the aircraft interior and new lounge design (currently only the TPE Terminal 1 has been renovated), was to bring Taiwanese culture, art and history to the world by infusing traditional design with Sung Dynasty elements and modern Taiwanese artistry. CI asked internationally acclaimed Taiwanese interior designer Ray Chen to help the airline rebrand and upgrade its products. Starting in April 2014, CI began releasing images of their interiors for the new plane and when I saw what was in store, I was simply amazed. As a longtime China Airlines flyer, I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of their 777-300ER fleet since the airline announced their order for 10 77W.
