Insperial, the global surface solutions group trusted by the world’s leading airlines launched a dedicated Colour, Material and Finish (CMF) service for aviation at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in April 2026.
The service is designed to support and complement industrial design teams and focuses on selection, integration and application.
Lucie Weber, Insperial’s CMF Industrial Designer who recently joined the company and worked on the new offering, has previously worked at the Dassault Falcon Jet completion centre in Little Rock, Arkansas and has expertise in leather development techniques including stitching, embossing, engraving and perforation. She also contributed to the creation of client-facing finish catalogues, covering materials, colours and application areas. Weber’s role included sourcing and implementing innovative materials, integrating new finishes into showrooms and continuously refining material performance and assembly within aircraft interiors.
Alexis Gabillon, Group CEO of Insperial said: “CMF has become a strategic differentiator. Airlines that invest in a thoughtful, harmonious cabin design create a passenger experience that is genuinely felt. We were delighted to welcome Lucie to the team, and within a short space of time, her expertise has enabled us to offer our airline customers something no one else in our industry can. Our dedicated, commercially aware design vision brings together the latest colour and material trends into solutions that are certifiable, scalable and built for aviation.”
Lucie Weber said: “At present, we’re seeing the aviation industry looking to create more natural, harmonious moods inside the cabin. We help them identify on-trend colours, refined material palettes and improved finishes, all with the goal of shaping a cohesive design language throughout the aircraft, where materials can work seamlessly together.
“By collaborating closely with our customers, we ensure that every surface, from seat upholstery to wall panels and trims, contributes to a thoughtfully designed cabin experience, where colour, material and finish are considered as one.”
The CMF catalogue features three core collections, Organic, Essential and Elevate, which have been designed to support a wide range of client needs while inspiring new approaches to cabin interiors.
