Lufthansa Upcycling Collection „Papa Foxtrot“

Upgrade your life

With upcycled products from
the Lufthansa Upcycling Collection
When the end is also a beginning: our upcycling project, equally popular with aviation fans and design enthusiasts alike, is starting an exciting new chapter. Highlights include the new Lufthansa Upcycling Collection A320-211 D-AIPF, made using materials from the decommissioned „Papa Foxtrot“ airbus, as well as individual pieces of furniture and accessories lovingly created from recycled components and distinctive boarding equipment.
Product highlights made from aircraft materials

31 years of the crane logo

„Papa Foxtrot“ has a long history of service. Joining the Lufthansa fleet in January 1990, the A320, an aircraft with a wingspan of 34.10 m, completed a total of 57,009 flights with 72,375 flying hours during its active life. Following its well-deserved retirement in May 2021, the aircraft has been honoured with the registration D-AIPF and the baptismal name „Deggendorf“, while its high-quality materials have now been transformed into unique Upcycling products.
Lufthansa Upcycling Collection D-AIPF Overhead Bin Sideboard

Bauhaus-inspired eye-catcher

For 31 years, the overhead bin on board the D-AIPF served as a space-saving luggage compartment. Now, thanks to its unusual material composition and striking looks, it has been transformed into a practical eye-catcher for your living room or a stylish sideboard for your hi-fi devices. Thanks to integrated, infinitely dimmable lighting, this piece of furniture can be illuminated in a variety of ways.
