"Our pieces are not just decorative pieces; they bear witness to a fascinating history: that of aviation. Each one tells a unique story, the exploits of a pilot, an aerial adventure, a technical feat... They are also industrial and technological heritage, a legacy that continues to inspire us," says Cédric Bayle, creator of Flight Inspiration Design.
The Brute and Design collections, unique pieces…
To protect, enhance and give new life to iconic aviation components, Flight Inspiration Design combines recycling and upcycling to offer two collections:
Brute Collection : aeronautical parts preserved in their original condition, distinguished by their original beauty and evocative power, ready to be exhibited or modified according to the project and the wishes of the buyer.
Design collection : inspired objects and furniture, derived from aviation parts shaped in the workshops, ready to give life to creative decorations that pay homage to design and the fascinating world of the airplane.
… tailor-made services
From searching for specific and/or rare pieces to carrying out personalized projects, including the rental of decorative objects and furniture for events or decorative creations, Flight Inspiration Design passionately strives to make every dream come true. Once the request has been received and, if applicable, the feasibility of the project has been studied, the company supports its French and international clients at every stage of the project's implementation, always with the aim of providing a unique experience.

From then on, Cédric has continued to cultivate his passion at the crossroads of his parents' and to share it with as many people as possible. For decorators, interior designers, decorators, and individuals, he seeks out parts from legendary aircraft that he recycles or upcycles to provide original or designer decorative elements, all bearing the heritage of aeronautics.
