Clara Super Duper x Lufthansa: Inspiration Above the Clouds

Oct 22

French illustrator Clara Dupré, known to many as Clara Super Duper, is the latest artist to join Lufthansa’s Allegris Art Series, a European collaboration celebrating creativity at 30,000 feet.

The initiative invites artists from Italy, Spain, the UK, and France to reinterpret the travel experience through design, transforming Lufthansa’s new Allegris cabins into airborne art studios.

For French illustrator Clara Dupré — known to many as Clara Super Duper — the assignment sounded almost unreal: fly first class from Munich to Shanghai aboard Lufthansa’s new Allegris Business Suite, sketching all the while.

It was a complimentary long-haul ticket, the kind that can cost around €6,000–€8,000 one way.

For most, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For Clara, it was fuel for her art.

“Flying is a key foundation of my creativity – through the clouds lie new places, new encounters, new perspectives,” Clara says

Describing how the view from 30,000 feet shifted her imagination. Her final illustrated poster — inspired by the journey — captures that dreamlike transition between sky, thought, and possibility.

Clara follows earlier illustrators Antonio Colomboni (Italy), Diego Blanco (Spain), and Daniel Frost (UK) in Lufthansa’s Allegris Art Series.

Each artist flew with the airline, translating their experience into finished artworks.

Daniel called flying “like daydreaming.” Diego described the cabin as “a sort of living room.” Antonio painted travel itself as “the source of my inspiration.”

Produced by Serviceplan Munich with Mindshare, the films and posters record each artist’s process — sketchbooks open mid-flight, pens moving as the world turns below.

From Milan Design Week to Art Basel Paris, their works now appear in public spaces across Europe.

“Allegris offers every passenger their own personal space,” says Michael Knapp, Head of Marketing Europe, Middle East, and Africa at Lufthansa Group. “These artists show how that space becomes a place of inspiration.”
