SWISS Recraft Collection Airbus 321 HB-IOC Wall Bar, White

New

Product description

Item number: 1771410

This exclusive wall bar is made from an aircraft window frame 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. The wall bar is made from a large section of the outer hull, including a window. The cut-out window opening has been put to perfect use in this appealingly designed wall bar. Behind the window opening is a shelf that makes the perfect place to display premium spirits, precious collector's items or special souvenirs to stunning effect. The wall bar is affixed to the wall with simple, white-coated metal brackets.

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.
