Priestmangoode believes in using intelligent design solutions to transform businesses. Over the last 25 years, its record of award-winning designs has firmly established the studio as a visionary and innovative leader in user- and passenger-focused design. From the first lie-flat airline seat for Virgin Atlantic in the early nineties to designing the fastest trains and the smallest hotel rooms in the world, Priestmangoode’s designs have revolutionised the aviation, transport and hospitality industries.

Their unique ability to transfer design skills across sectors has delivered industry-changing products, such as the most cost-effective budget hotel room in the world for Accor’s ETAP and Motel 6 brands as well as award-winning interiors for many of the world’s leading airlines and aircraft manufacturers including Airbus, Boeing, Lufthansa, Malaysia Airlines and Qatar Airways. In parallel with consultancy work, Priestmangoode generates their own concepts such as the Mercury High Speed train and Waterpebble. This work aims to address problems faced in everyday life and prompts public discourse about design.

Priestmangoode is opening its first overseas office this year in Qingdao, China
