Pacific Compagnie's eye
Pacific Compagnie - a selection of aeronautical furniture
There is a category of objects unlike any other: those that have faced the most extreme reality — speed, altitude, mechanics pushed to their limits — and returned with a soul. Pacific Compagnie's aeronautical furniture pieces belong to this rare category. Authentic fragments of aviation history, transformed with audacity and goldsmith-level care into exceptional decorative objects and furniture, they bring into every interior something no catalogue can manufacture: a thickness of reality, a density of history, an absolute character.
A 1940s Continental R-670 radial engine becomes a coffee table. A Boeing 747 jet engine air inlet converted into a reception bar. A 1972 Martin & Baker ejection seat reinterpreted as a collector's piece: at Pacific Compagnie, transformation does not erase the original — it elevates it. Each piece retains the magnificent brutality of its first life, its rivets, its metals polished by time, its marks of reality, while acquiring the sophistication of an object designed for the most demanding interiors.
Aeronautical furniture is luxury in its most immediately tangible form: absolute rarity, irrefutable material, and history you can touch. These pieces do not furnish a space: they define it, tell its story, give it a dimension that ordinary objects will never reach. Pacific Compagnie invites you to discover them in its 600 m² Parisian showroom, where each one awaits the person who will know how to recognise it.
Pacific Compagnie presents five exceptional aeronautical pieces.
The Rocket Saturn V Sculpture
On 16 July 1969, the Saturn V rocket left Earth for the first time with men on board. Sixty years later, Pacific Compagnie offers a sculpted reinterpretation that captures something of that epic: the verticality of the object, its 102 cm of hand-painted elegance, and above all that take-off effect rendered — both magical and technical — by a smoke system illuminated by multicolour LEDs controlled remotely. Limited edition of 69 pieces — in tribute to the number of years elapsed since Apollo 11.
A sculpture for collectors who know that space, since time immemorial, is the ultimate frontier of the human dream. And that certain dreams deserve to be placed on a pedestal.
- Structure: lacquered wood with ultra clear plexiglass box.
- Finish: hand-painted, realistic take-off effect.
- Lighting effect: smoke illuminated by multicolour LEDs, remote control included.
- Edition: numbered limited series of 69 pieces.

The Continental R-670 Coffee Table
Coffee table or artefact? The Continental R-670 answers this question with the serenity of objects that need no justification. This seven-cylinder radial engine, born in the 1930s and 1940s to power aircraft from an era when aviation was still a total human adventure, is today the soul of an absolutely unique coffee table. Its original metal, its seven cylinders arranged in a star, its mechanical geology of almost organic complexity: all of this is preserved, displayed, celebrated as it should be.
In a contemporary living room or an executive office, the Continental R-670 is the piece that stops conversations and sparks questions. The piece you cannot ignore, and never forget.
- Structure: authentic Continental R-670 seven-cylinder radial engine.

The Phantom Fighter Ejection Seat
It was designed to save lives at supersonic speeds. The 1972 Martin & Baker ejection seat, from the Royal Air Force Phantom II fighters and the McDonnell Douglas F-4, is one of the most history-laden and adrenaline-charged objects you can place in an interior. Its chrome-finished metal details, its industrial totem silhouette, its almost intimidating presence — and that electric function that allows it to be raised or lowered as one would adjust a cockpit altitude — make it a collector's piece in the noblest sense of the term.
The Phantom Fighter does not settle into an office: it takes possession of it. And whoever sits in it immediately understands that certain chairs are not made to be forgotten.
- Structure: authentic 1972 Martin & Baker ejection seat.
- Origin: Phantom II fighter, Royal Air Force and McDonnell Douglas F-4.
- Finish: chrome metal details, electric elevation system.

The Boeing 737F Mirror
Mirror or wall sculpture? The authentic Boeing 737F jet engine air inlet answers this question with unflappable composure. Its polished and riveted aluminium, its perfect circularity with a 110 cm diameter, its industrial details on display that make no attempt to hide: everything here assumes its origin with quiet pride. Hung in a loft, an office or a contemporary space, it does not merely reflect the room — it transforms it, infusing it with an industrial and futuristic dimension simultaneously, that belongs to it alone.
The Boeing 737F Mirror is a unique piece that says something about its owner: that they are not afraid to be surprising, and that they prefer history to anecdote.

- Finish: bright metal with visible industrial details.
- Dimensions: Ø 110 x D. 45 x H. 80 cm.

The Boeing 747 Bar
There are pieces that make you pause, and pieces before which you can only stop. The Boeing 747 Bar belongs irrevocably to the second category. Three metres long, 150 cm deep, an authentic air inlet from the most famous commercial aircraft in aviation history: the polished and riveted aluminium of the Boeing 747 takes here the form of a spectacular counter, both sculpture and functional furniture, that transforms any reception space into a stage. The presence is total, the effect immediate, the impression unforgettable.
For the most ambitious hospitality spaces, the boldest private bars, showrooms that want to signify something beyond the product: the Boeing 747 Bar is that ultimate piece found only once, and never regretted.
