Unique luxury furniture: Giancarlo de Astis Aeronautical Furniture

Giancarlo De Astis is a Los Angeles based artist who turns all kinds of aircraft parts from retired planes into industrial, retro-fashionable and unique luxury furniture. He gets the aeronautical leftovers from junkyards and level graveyards in Arizona, and fashions desks, tables, chairs, credenzas, cabinets, lamps and other furnishings out of flaps, turbines, canopies and different odds-and-ends. Some of his most amazing creations are the Latro Primo desk, the Lo Squalo union chair, and the Sole conference table.

Wings become desks ($8,900), and cockpits beat a hasty retreat into chairs ($12,000). The Latro Primo ($5,500- $8,900) is made from the erect stabilizer of a Beechcraft 18/C-45, the Lo Squalo stick chair ($5,000- $8,500) is made from the air cooling engine spoon gouge out of a DC6/7, the II Sole conference table ($10,000) has been inducted in The Smithsonian Pioneer’s National Air Space Museum and is made from the first stage of a Pratt & Whitney JT8D jet mechanism case fan.
