30 years working for the Lufthansa Group

The materials for our latest Upcycling Collection come from a very special aircraft: "Papa Charlie", the third A320 in the Lufthansa fleet, which flew for about 30 years in the service of the crane - with a brief period spent at Germanwings. This aircraft was a particularly long-serving and reliable member of the fleet. The Airbus with the registration D-AIPC entered service on 21 November 1989 under the name Braunschweig. It completed a total of 73,071.58 hours of flight over 57,687 flights as a standard short-haul and medium-haul aircraft until it was retired on 27 October 2019.

The result: an exclusive light that will give your home a lasting aeronautical look. Lamp head alignment is flexible, so the lighting in your room is always pleasant. Go to product

Lufthansa Upcycling Collection A320-211 D-AIPC Wunderkey

A (key) bond for life

Our key ring is called Wunderkey, and with good reason. Like a pocket knife, the keys are attached between two pieces made from the skin of "Papa Charlie". You can keep two to eight keys in it - it's quite the alternative to a jingling bunch of keys. The Lufthansa crane and the silhouette of the Airbus appear on the top of this limited edition accessory, while the aircraft ID and an engraved serial number adorn the underside. Go to products

On the wall, on the table - as an aeronautical designer item, this clock looks simply beautiful anywhere you choose to place it. Go to products
