To step inside the Embraer Lineage 1000E is to enter a world of among the finest amenities money can buy—and the Federal Aviation Administration will allow. At $53 million, this private jet—which was unveiled earlier this year at Geneva’s annual EBACE—is for those who are accustomed to getting most anything they want. Taming the endless expectations of his clients is just one part of Jay Beever’s job as the vice president of interior design for Embraer Executive Jets. “I’ve been asked to add a fireplace to the main cabin,” Beever says. “Obviously that brought about more red tape and safety concerns than imaginable. It was a simple no can do.” Architectural Digest spoke with the designer about his process in outfitting the most luxurious private jets on the runway, as well as the future of the industry.

The Embraer Lineage 1000E comprises roughly 800 square feet of living space with wings. Beever’s team offers clients thousands of combinations featuring the finest leathers, wools, and silks for the five interior zones. “We spend countless hours researching different materials and products, so that when a customer comes with a unique ask, we have already done the hard work and are prepared with our answer,” says Beever.

“What makes the Lineage 1000E different from other private jets is the fact that its size hits a sweet spot,” says Beever. This means it can fly into smaller airports such as Aspen, CO and Teterboro, NJ (outside of New York City), where there are weight and wingspan limits. “Larger private jets simply can’t fly into these smaller airports, and it makes logistics more of a headache for clients.”

A queen-size bed separates the rest of the cabins from the private bath. “Luxury is space,” says Beever. “My job is making my clients feel at home on their private jets, so it doesn’t seem as though they’re stuck in a small cylinder for several hours.”
