Fallen Furniture’s 737 Cowling Chair

There is upcycling, and then there is taking a genuine Boeing 737 engine cowling, spinning an aluminium base for it and sitting it the right way up so it looks as though it might still taxi away. Fallen Furniture’s 737 Cowling Chair measures nearly 6.5 feet square and makes no attempt to be subtle.

The comparison with mid-century curved furniture is unavoidable, but the appeal here is not seating comfort — it is seeing an airliner’s skin become something you can own. Industrial salvage with an impeccable finish, and a fair amount of swagger.
