Combining solid wood and metal reinforcements, it embodies the bare structure of a load-bearing element, now transformed into a sculptural piece with a raw character. Main characteristics: - Materials: Weathered wood and riveted metal, with original wiring still visible. The whole retains a remarkable technical patina, traces of rust and light oxidation adding a unique authenticity. - Structure: Lightweight but rigid construction, formed of ribs, spars and struts in a cross pattern. The wing contour is reinforced by a curved frame, evoking the first fabric-winged aircraft. - Dimensions: 370 cm long, 122 cm high, 13 cm deep. Spectacular proportions that allow for wall hanging or suspended installation. - Finish: No modern canvas or paint covering, offering a direct reading of the functional skeleton. Marks of time, dust, and surface accidents preserved to emphasize authenticity. A monumental piece, between technical memory and aerial sculpture Perfect for: - Creating a spectacular focal point in a loft, gallery or artist's studio. - Enhancing a scenography around the history of aviation, engineering or industrial design. - Being suspended or mounted as a wall light for an impressive museum effect. A rare object, at the crossroads of technical object and raw art, this deboned airplane wing seduces with the poetry of its apparent lightness and the rigor of its construction. This piece is designed in the style of the selected designer and/or manufacturer See less
