As part of the recovery of the industrial heritage of Airbus, a team of 11 designers has manufactured furniture and lights from pieces of aircraft, that have been discarded after thousands of flight hours.

The nose compartment has been transformed into a rounded armchair, into which it is possible to curl.

Parts of the fuselage have been converted into a cabinet to store the tableware, a plane's window is positioned above a connected dressing table and acts as a display screen or is upcycled to become a coffee table, an aircraft engine becomes a table leg and welded fittings become a desk lamp.

Initiated in 2019, 10 aircrafts have been reused and have led to recovery and upcycle 2,000 parts, for capsule collection of objects from few pieces to greater ranges.
