A nice article + pics in the New York Times discussing the interior design of the new QF A380:

"The Qantas cabin is more restrained than those of other airlines that have already unveiled A380s: Singapore Airlines has private first-class suites, and Emirates has showers in the first-class bathrooms. Qantas spurned such showstopping features in favor of a sprucely futuristic style.
Like many of the other airlines that have ordered the A380, including Singapore and Emirates, Qantas has allocated most of the extra space to business class, the most profitable section of most long-haul aircraft, where the seats have been made considerably larger, as they have in first class. And there are 450 seats in Qantas’s A380, 38 more than in the 747s on its routes between Australia and the United States. (Qantas will charge the same fares for the A380 as for all its other planes.)"
