Commune takes flight with Singapore Airlines in first-ever collaboration

SINGAPORE,July 20,2022 -- Upcycling takes flight in a literal form with Commune's latest release "The Continental" – a capsule collection created in collaboration with Singapore Airlines (SIA) as part of their latest initiative,The Upcycling Project.

"The Continental" aims to bring SIA's archetypal aviation aesthetics closer to the galleys of your home – with re-imagined versions of the retired SIA aircraft cabin windows and carts.

With sustainability at the core of the initiative,the upcycling approach retains the essence of the iconic airline products,refreshed with new functions to add timeless appeal and historical value to anywhere one might bring "The Continental" products to.

"The Continental" range features three exquisite products.

The Continental Bar Cart (Le Petite & Le Grande)

50 exclusive original Singapore Airlines in-flight galley carts,previously serving warm in-flight meals and beverages,have been given a fresh lease of life,each featuring a sleek black powder-coated finish,contrasting with the classic Commune-style Walnut veneer storage shelves and a premium leather utility pouch. Produced by a limited run,each cart features a limited edition tag with its registration number (e.g. N°1/50) – adding a touch of elegance while retaining its original industrial-grade mechanism.

The Continental Bar Cart is available in two sizes – Le Petite and Le Grande

The Continental Wall Valet

The Wall Valet incorporates the original upcycled window frame from SIA's retired aircraft fuselage,featuring a levelled top panel resembling the shape of the wings of the aircraft. It also features a functional utility pouch decked in premium tan leather,a magnetic key catch and a letter organiser.

The Wall Valet aims to evoke the feeling of serenity when you stare out of the windows of an airplane and into the open skies.
