« Moselle : Didier Wolff, le designer de Hultehouse qui habille le corps des avions C’est un artiste à la patte singulière. Depuis son « coin de nature », en Moselle Sud, le designer Didier Wolff dessine des toiles surprenantes, celles qui habillent le fuselage des avions. Du gigantisme au service de sa créativité. Il bosse actuellement sur un Bombardier global 5500. Un biréacteur avec moteurs Rolls Royce sous la carlingue qui fait la fierté de son propriétaire Nord-américain. Un engin tout nu de près de 30 mètres linéaires dont Didier Wolff doit se charger de couvrir le corps d'un habit unique, le sup¬plément d’âme qui va avec. Compris dans le prix, offert avec le geste artistique car le Mosellan n’est pas à une singularité près. De sa passion de minot pour les grands espaces à customiser, Didier Wolff a fait son drôle de métier : designer d’avion. À son compteur : une vingtaine de carlingues depuis 2009 dont il ne se lasse visiblement pas de parcourir les courbes. Il est aujourd’hui à la tête de Happy Design Studio, sa boîte installée à Hultehouse.

Striking Livery Concept Floated By Happy Design Studio. This livery is created around four diagonal black powerful lines which firmly rest like a frame on the front curve of the ACJ's belly fairing, born from a black shape underlining the cockpit from the front. As for the colors, five shades of green and a light blue guide the eyes towards the drift. Didier Wolff’s earlier liveries are flying on various types, such as the Embraer Legacy 600, Falcon 900EX and Bombardier Global 5000.

Happy Design Studio CEO Didier Wolff has found inspiration in the Airbus Corporate Jets ACJ TwoTwenty, newest member of the ACJ family, and is showing his paint scheme concept this week at EBACE 2022 while meeting with clients about upcoming projects. He has been designing luxury aircraft livery for more than a decade, ranging from business jets and airliners to helicopters. What drew him to the ACJ TwoTwenty? “Initially the shape of the aircraft,” Wolff said. “The nature of the shape all around the cockpit; I look at an aircraft from the left to the right, and the story begins on the left, finishing to the right on the tail. That’s how I read an aircraft.” Happy Design’s resulting TwoTwenty livery concept is created around four powerful diagonal black lines emanating from a black shape outlining the cockpit from the front, and resting firmly like a frame on the front curve of the aircraft’s belly fairing. “It gives all the energy to the aircraft,” he said. Wolff has discussed with Airbus Corporate Jets making his design concept available to TwoTwenty customers. “This is a starting point,” the Strasbourg, France-based artist said. “If one customer recognizes himself through my design proposal, we can adapt that to their aircraft.”
