Unique luxury furniture: Giancarlo de Astis Aeronautical Furniture

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

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