So you love flying. You love every type of aircraft. You would spend the whole day high above ground if you could. But that’s impossible, and when you return to your home or to your office, you want to feel at least a tiny bit of that sensation you felt at those high altitudes. Thanks to a few designer and furniture makers, this is now possible.
The following pieces are made of disassembled or reclaimed aircraft parts, bringing the skies into your home. Check them out — plus a few extras at the end, which didn’t come directly from the runway, but are just as cool.

Bonus: The following three pieces aren’t made from parts, but they’re deeply inspired by flight, like these Aviator lounge chairs by Canadian designer David Catta.

The same goes for Restoration Hardware’s Aviator Wing Desk, which is inspired by streamlined World War II fighter planes. Its shape mimicks the bent wing of a plane.
