It was Motoart that introduced to the world the idea of owning designer high quality furniture fashioned out of Vintage Airplane Parts. Its gamut of home and office fixtures have put wood out of fashion and offered an unconventional way to become a part of the a great art of aviation. Their latest offering is the limited edition KC-97 Fuel Tank Cradle Desk.
As seen in the images, the hemisphere cradles that hold the desk are actually the ones which supported the jet fuel tanks in KC-97 Stratotanker. Yes, this is the same strategic tanker that was the backbone of United States Air Force's Tanker Fleet until it was replaces by Boeing KC-135. These tankers actually helped to keep the fighter planes in air for as much as 24 hours a day during the Cold War phase of 1950s.
The cradle here delivers a sophisticated L-shape to the desk. The makers are offering two choices of finish for their users, one being polished aluminum and powder coated is another. If you intend to sit around something that is filled with historic splendor, you could buy this desk from MotoArt for $8500.
