Some pieces are definitely from Motoart and they are still in business. They should be given credit for those images.
There used to be one of those reality TV shows about a company called Motoart that made stuff just like this. It was only on for 2 or 3 seasons several years ago, although I think the company is still in business. It didn't have all the "drama" that most of those shows have today, but there was some. It was really entertaining watching them come up with ideas for stuff and then build it. This might be some of their stuff.
Nr 13.... WTF!!! AJ FRITZ HANSEN! Somethings u cant "Invent" @US... THIS is Danish design!
Hey Guys! My name is Harry and I am the Founder of P L A N E industries, we make the 737 Cowling Chair. We just installed one into a clients house last week, I hope you like it!
I absolutely love the way of use of these airplane pants. Some are so well made and fit perfectly in the interior. The thought of the history of the part, the special material and all the love put in it to be made, is just extraordinary! So exceptional, I wish I could have some. :)
I would buy almost every piece except for the 1st one, the big round chair. As much as I love it, where in the world would you put it and I bet it's as heavy as a house!
Kind of sad to be sitting at a desk that has seen every corner of the earth, while the person behind the desk is most of the time boring her/himself for money. May these nice desk and chairs and all, inspire to Quit jobs and go see the world!
