SINGAPORE , July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 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.

The chairman of Heathrow has launched a searing attack on “slasher” airlines for failing to attract enough baggage handlers at the airport by paying higher wages.
After a trial a few years ago, the airline today announced that it'll start rolling out free electronic bag tags to a group of 2,500 of its Mileage Plan elites flying out of San Jose now, with a wide rollout to all Mileage Plan members (who will have to pay for their tags) coming in 2023. Unlike the current system, where you print a tag at the airport -- or have an airline employee do it for you -- with these rugged new electronic tags you simply check in on your phone as usual. Then, after you decide you want to check a bag, you hold the phone close to the tag and, using your phone's NFC chip, transfer that data to the tag to display it on the built-in e-ink display, which simply displays the standard barcode you'd also see on a printed bag tag.
