Product description

This innovative side table is sure to make you look twice - because yes, that's right: the tabletop is made from an original aircraft window from the legendary SWISS Airbus 321 with the registration HB-IOC. After 27 years in service with Swissair and SWISS, the Airbus made its final landing in Zurich in 2022. The aeroplane has been transformed into the starting point for the SWISS Recraft Collection, which is the first SWISS aircraft upcycling project. This side table is made by attaching an aircraft window onto the base with a woven band. The tension from the band keeps the originally curved window flat, creating a stable surface for the table. This striking piece with its high-quality components is reminiscent of the aesthetic of a "ready-made" - an everyday or natural object that is elevated to the status of a work of art - thanks to the simplicity of its design.
HB-IOC: the iconic Airbus 321
The registration “IOC" originally referred to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and for a year it was decorated with the Olympic rings. The Airbus 321 also bore the name of the city of Lausanne, where the IOC has its headquarters. Later, the aeroplane was renamed after St. Moritz, henceforth carrying the charm of this alpine resort throughout Europe. During its 27 years in regular service, the Airbus 321 transported over seven million guests and completed some 47,000 take-offs and landings. With over 73,000 flying hours and a total flight distance equivalent to 1,315 round-the-world trips or 137 voyages to the moon, every Upcycling product from this aircraft comes with an impressive history.
