MotoArt creates high quality furniture out of vintage airplane parts. They are based in Los Angeles and use old aircraft parts such as rudders, flaps, stabilizers, engine cells, fuselage, windows, and even galley carts, which they make into mobile mini bars. The owners of MotoArt have a love for these old aircrafts, and are saddened when they see these magnificent machines that flew the skies for years just crushed and recycled for the metal. This is what has fueled their business, as they travel to airplane junkyards, cut the pieces off of the aircraft, and then transform them into remarkable and functional works of art.
MotoArt reception desks have become popular with big corporations that are looking for a wow piece for their reception area. These pieces appeal to corporations because they are so detailed, boast a modern style and are sure to spice up a reception area as symbols of style and power. MotoArt has been commissioned by companies including GE, CNN and even Boeing International.
