Why Skypak sees itself as a design manufacturer
At Skypak, we have a passion for design that inspires the senses—and that is our true motive.
We have a passion for design—and that's not only the reason we founded Skypak, but also the motive behind everything we do. And that's reflected in all our designs.
Each of our designer pieces is based on the airplane trolley : functional and minimalist, yet with a touch of sophistication even in its most primitive form. By taking these familiar objects as our design basis, our pieces immediately evoke the quiet rumble of turbines and the exhilarating feeling you get when you're about to take off.
With this object as our design body, we initially thought the possibilities in terms of design and refinement would be endless. However, as we delved deeper into the design process, we quickly realized that our initial drafts were only scratching the surface of the design possibilities this object offers us. Since then, we've been on a journey to explore the design possibilities of functional mobile living.
We do this in collaboration with our own designers , but also with world-renowned designers who lend us their talent and vision to transform ordinary airplane trolleys into works of art. Always with the highest standards for our product, this journey has already led us to various finishes, e.g., with gold, Swarovski crystals , or the wood of barrique barrels , as well as to various design themes, e.g., lettering, drawings, city references—all attributable to the designer who created these works in our design workshop. Each one is so unique that we can hardly imagine how many more of these designs and special finishes are possible with such a versatile product as the airplane trolley as a basis.
Skypak - a design manufacturer
And that's precisely why Skypak sees itself less as a furniture manufacturer and more as a design manufacturer—our job isn't to sell designer furniture, but to create endless designs from an existing base that can influence the fluidity, efficiency, and organization of our customers' living and working spaces. Baz Pringels , one of the first designers we worked with, put it this way in one of our interviews :
The whole idea is to take everyday objects that we don't associate with personal designer items and turn them into works of art.

And these works of art have the ability to literally move, creating new possibilities for the design and transformation of our everyday spaces.
