Je suis designer industriel pour les cabines d'avions. J'ai travaillé pendant 35 ans pour Airbus (6 en Allemagne et 29 en France).
J'ai reçu le Janus de l'industrie pour le design d'intérieur de la série A320.
Depuis 8 ans je suis designer de concept à l'université des sciences appliqués HAW Hambourg pour un projet de recherche (reconfiguration for different user groups) pour les cabines d'avions, des passagers aux besoins spéciaux et des handicapés. Payé par le gouvernement allemand (Ministère de recherche et energie). J'étais enseignant pendant 4 ans (design de produit) à l'école supérieur des Beaux arts de Toulouse avec Jean Marie Bouroulec. Actuellement, je suis à la recherche de nouveaux projets de design d'intérieur pour des cabines de passagers.
I have worked as industrial/interior senior designer /design manager on all civil AIRBUS cabin types since 1974: 3D aesthetics , ergonomics, materials, colours and light. See also my 97 (brevets) AIRBUS-patent registrations for technical and design solutions for aircraft cabins: overhead bins, PSU channels, flexible classdividers, coat stowages, special lavatories, monuments, attendant stations, pilot seats, B/C and F/C seat concepts, side walls, ceiling panels, air grills, bin latches, faucets..

Recommended By Werner Gronow, Ex-Director of Payload Systems, Airbus Industrie,Toulouse :
Thomas Bock entered my services in 1974.
In 1981 he became the leader of the industrial design team.
The A320 cabin interior was to a large extent created by Thomas. He managed to take into account the specific engineering, airworthiness and production constraints of a civil airliner in a harmonious design. This masterpiece of cabin interior design was still in production until 2007.
All following Airbus cabin interiors like those for the different models of A310, A330 and A340 went through the hands of Thomas or were highly influenced by him.
Beside his industrial design work Thomas Bock opened as a pioneer the way for computerized renderings and images. Both for the presentation of decorated interior versions to customers and new interior versions in house.
This was a tremendous break trough compared to the hand made charts of the older days. It enables AIRBUS until today to produce interior color presentations in a cost effective manner and to reach customer decisions quickly.
A must for high production rates in our industry.
The step was only possible due to a close and continued cooperation between Thomas and a highly flexible, knowledgeable and innovative company like ACA
Thomas Bock holds several patent rights for AIRBUS cabin interior components.
The leaving of Thomas Bock will be a big loss for Airbus.
I wish Thomas all the best for the future
