Three different metalwork finishes are available: A perfect mirror-polish, a rustic mirror-polish and a unique matt polish. To preserve the beauty of the original features we laboriously polish around each individual rivet to preserve their protrusion and maintain character.

Numerous powder-coated colour ways are available for the frame. And finally, two clock face types are offered: Either the original acrylic windows re-polished with a vinyl graphic, or a laser cut aluminium cargo window.

A specially engineered wall-mounting bracket is included.

The inside of the table is powder-coated black, whilst a 40” piece of toughened, polished glass sits on top. A beautiful piece that creates a distinctive atmospheric statement.

EXHAUST LAMP

Standing over 6ft tall and taking inspiration from the A.E Cremer Parisian lights of the 1950’s, this piece exudes character and personality. The head undergoes a process of sanding, polishing and heating to create a sea of blues, golds, and purples that radiate from the remarkable exhaust cone light head of this unique piece. The polished stainless steel stand has been designed and manufactured from the ground up, carefully blending minimalism and functionality whilst the Italian holophane glass radiates a warm glow.

ABOUT FALLEN FURNITURE

Using reclaimed, authentic aircraft parts, from both military and civilian aircraft steeped in history, Fallen Furniture take pride in exploring the most innovative ways to breathe new life into these remarkable feats of engineering to design and create pieces of art and furniture.

Each piece is meticulously crafted with an emphasis on originality and personality resulting in a distinctive and decorative tribute to aviation heritage and engineering, guaranteed to inspire, intrigue and captivate conversation in any home or place of business.

With a strong belief of design as applied art – there to be used not just looked at – inspiration is drawn from a number of different periods: from the Art Deco movement of the early 1900’s to the Parisian craftsmen creating robust industrial furniture and lighting in the 40’s, to the 21st century eco design movement.

A design process and ethos has been born that centers around celebrating a single, beautifully engineered aircraft part and marrying it with an eclectic mix of sustainable metals, woods and textiles to create a truly unique product of elegance, functionality and modernity.

Working from a restored 17th century building on the outskirts of the creative heritage city of Bath, a strong focus on British manufacturing and craftsmanship is adopted, with all elements of production based in Britain. This allows for complete quality control over every piece that leaves the workshop.
