On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the German CONDOR airline, Hundertwasser was asked to redesign an aeroplane. Hundertwasser stressed the welding and seam lines of the exterior skin and designed a new logo in which the capital C of Condor forms the wings and the cabin windows the body of the bird. The portholes are a part of the word Condor, which is written in mirror writing on the right-hand side of the fuselage. On the sliding blinds there is a window picture gallery with classical works of art.Hundertwasser did not want an application of a painting to a technical apparatus, but an honest design fitting for an airplane. It is reminiscent of the pioneering days of aviation, of zeppelins - or of a dragon fly. A large aircraft such as the B 757 should take on a new, unmistakable identity, contrasting with the anonymous means of mass transit, and the passengers should be given the dream of individuality.Hundertwasser's design was rejected by the CONDOR board of directors in 1996.
