I MUST HAVE THIS STUFF!

This mob, Motoart, make furniture/art stuff out of bits of old planes.

Here's a desk made out of a 747 cowling:

Chair made from B-52 Ejection seat:

Table made from spinner of B-52 engine:

Fishtank thing made from Mk-84 bomb casing:

They don't have prices on the site (lame) but I found they have some shopping site where one of the little tables was going for US$2,750, so I'm guessing it's all really expensive. There's a stack of other awesome stuff they have, go check it out.

I reckon the furniture looks kind of plain actually.

Trog, This company had a show on discovery channel (oy maybe national geographic) look it up, it was pretty cool, just followed the guys around while they found the parts and how they built the stuff etc, kinda like American Chopper.

Does she come with the desk?






I'd take the desk regardless.

I'll take the hunny from the first pic and you can keep the Aviation Themed Phallic Furniture.

i like the desk & the table... the chair is too gaudy & a bomb casing isn't really a good shape for a proper fishtank... too little air/water interface.

i'd rather have working bits from aircraft... like this 27litre merlin v12 in a rolls royce :D

I couldn't find one thing I liked in the catalogue. Closest I came to was a bar stool for $95 that looked like good value, but everything else looks tacky to me.

Poor fish, they be forever bumping into the glass. They have f*** all horizontal room.

Some of the desks are pretty cool though. I'd love to know what they cost.
