Orange Aero
Rolls-Royce engine specialists Orange Aero commissioned Conran to design a stand, for displaying the original nose-cone from the final prototype Concorde test-plane in a way that it would be considered as a piece of art.The result was inspired by sonic waves the aircraft would have made by surfing the earth's atmosphere at over Mach II. Fabricated from three tonnes of polished stainless steel, and over seven meters long, the sculptural form swivels on its centre of gravity and allows the nose to tilt, as it would have on take-off.
