GET ON BOARD
AT AIRBUS’S INNOVATION DAYS held in Toulouse in May, the company showcased its online upcycling platform, A Piece in the Sky. The carrier is transforming end-of-life aircraft parts into distinctive furnishings. Created by entrepreneurs Anaïs Mazaleyrat and Jérémy Brousseau, the project was picked up by Airbus BizLab, a network for start-ups, last year. There’s a small preorder-only collection online, as well as products with limited supply, and certificates will detail the traceability and origins of the products. Highlights include a mechanical looking Spine X chair crafted from an aluminium wing rib and rare elm wood (pictured; €1,500). apieceofsky.airbus.com
