While one may question how an airplane could find its way into a home, these companies have literally pushed the boundaries to prove the point. If you still doubt us, here are some incredibly creative home décor items made out of repurposed airplane items.
Airplane Parts Furniture Examples
1). Coffee Table made from Pegasus LP2 Fan Blade:

2). Original Coffee Table from Boeing 777 Wheel:
Who said only the fans of an aircraft can be transformed into a coffee table? One look at the original coffee table created out of a Boeing 777 wheel, and you would know what we mean.
The single version of the table features a hand polished wheel from the Boeing 777 aircraft sitting underneath a clear glass tabletop that offers stunning views of the design below. Would you believe if we say that it took over 150 hours to build this table?
3). Aileron Coffee Table from Aircraft Wing Ailerons:
Designed by MotoArt, the Aileron Coffee Table features a base made of an aircraft’s wing ailerons resourced from several aircrafts like B-25’s, C-119’s, Douglas and Albatross to name a few.

4). Cylinder Radial Engine Table from Boeing Stearman PT-13 Engine:
Here is another rather unusual table crafted out of the engine of a US Army Boeing Stearman PT 13. The aircraft was acquired by the designers from the Canadian Museum of Flight in British Colombia with the purpose of creating astonishing and unique airplane parts furniture.
Dating back to the 1930s, the table features a clear glass tabletop that offers a great view of the intricate workings of the engine present below it.
5). Marc Venot Furniture from Reclaimed Aircraft Parts:
Marc Venot is a well-known label that uses old, salvaged aircraft materials to create stunning airplane parts furniture pieces for homes. The company in fact, makes use of the cabin interiors found inside airplanes and transforms them into a myriad of attractive seating options ranging from chairs and sofas to luxurious loungers.
Marc Venot arranges the individual aircraft parts in a repetitive manner, creating a sequence that more or less resembles the feel of sitting in an actual aircraft.
6). Red Chair from Jet Cowling Fan:
How about having your own custom designed chair made out of the fan of a Jet Cowling aircraft? Featured in this design is a finely crafted, contemporary chair design that can seat up to two individuals at a time.

8). Bed from 747 Jet Liner:
This truly remarkable design features a circular bed crafted from a 747 Jet Liner, and uses the airplane’s nacelle as its headboard. The round mattress measures 84 inches in diameter.
