motoart: turning airplanes into furniture

have you ever wondered where old airplanes that have passed their prime end up? i’ve always figured they’d end up somewhere like this . . . all neatly lined up,
quietly rusting and decaying in an airplane graveyard . . . and as you can see . . . i wouldn’t be far wrong.

however, an enterprising company named motoart has given these sad machines hope for a second life as home and office furniture.

here are a few examples: a c 130 . . . a c130 flap converted to a very stylish office desk . . .
a b 727 . . . a b 727 cowling converted to a cozy and easy to look at office cubicle . . .
a dc6 . . .
a dc6 engine cowling again turned into a lovely little office cubicle . . .
and finally a b52 stratofortress . . .
a b52 ejector seat - non-functioning but wouldn’t it be fun for those times when you have "you know who" over and you’d like to send them on their way . . .
it’s obviously not for everybody but if you are interested or want to have a better look at what’s available then visit motoart’s website. if you would like to look at the full-range of motoart’s creations then you should have a look at their catalogue.
