The Grand Aviation Chandelier Concept

The Grand Aviation Chandelier Concept
Copyright InterFlight Studio 2013

The Grand Aviation Chandelier Concept by InterFlight Studio, is truely a one of a kind design item.  These chandeliers are completely custom made for each specific client.  These chandeliers use the cowling from an original jet engine and turbine blades recycled from that same engine.  There are also three original airport landing strip lights that illuminate this chandelier.  

Whether these custom chandeliers are for your home, office, lobby, or airport, they are sure to impress all who see them.  Their beauty will stand the test of time, and it is a great tribute to the magnificent machines they once were.  

These chandeliers appease both men and women.  Women like the curving effect of the lights as they tumble down from the cowling.  Men, like the industrial feel of steel instead of the typical frilly decorations that ususally adorn chandeliers.  

InterFlight Studio is the only gallery in the world representing artists and designers inspired by the magic of flight.  Recently, they have begun designing their own in house collection for special clients only.  This chandelier concept is one of those pieces from their new exclusive line.  For years, InterFlight Studio has been a leader in aircraft repurposed furniture.  They represent some of the best artists and designers who take the concept of 'green design' to a whole new level.  

If you are an Interior Designer, we would like to hear feedback from you.  We are always interested in working with interior designers or architects to plan out something much larger than these simple concepts.  

If you have a special client, we would love to help you fulfill their dreams.

Fountain of Flight - Airport Design

The Fountain of Flight takes to the Airport.  This would be the ideal setting for this wonderful fountain.  Designed from the cowling of an original aircraft sent to the scrap yard, this is a wonderful way to repurpose aviation parts and make them admirable once again.

This fountain simply commands the attention of spectators old and young.  What a great way to introduce aviation history, and aviation luxury design to people around the world  This fountain is a simple concept which can be infinitely elaborated upon for the biggest or the smallest of projects.  Interflight Studio is on top of the aviation design market, delivering one of a kind unique aviation pieces made by real artists for an ever changing, ever evolving world.  These designs will stand the test of time.  In addition to generating more interest for aviation and design, InterFlight Studio is also demonstrating remarkable ways to recycle old materials and make them new again.  In our current global situation, every little bit of recycling helps.  By setting this example, of going "green" and recycling, perhaps it will help to shift the collective thought to establishing some type of re-purposing program themselves.

747 Plane transformed into a home

http://inhabitat.com/retired-747-airplane-transformed-into-striking-malibu-home/

This is an amazing idea, and great way to re purpose things.  A guy decides to build a dream home from a retired 747 airplane in Malibu, CA.

Here’s how it works: buy a retired 747 for the paltry sum of $35,000. Register it with the FAA so pilots flying overhead don’t mistake the house for a downed aircraft. Disassemble the 230-foot long, 195-foot wide machine. Elevate the wings and tail stabilizers to use as a roof for the master bedroom. Create a roof for a detached art studio from a 50-foot long section of the upper fuselage. Add a guesthouse, constructing its roof from the remaining front part of the fuselage and the upper first-class cabin. The front of the airplane works well — for someone with absolutely no fear of flying — as a meditation gazebo, where the cockpit windows form a skylight. And since we’re in ranch country, use the cargo hold as an animal barn.

The philosophy behind the Malibu house, dubbed Wing House, has taken shape over time, like the disassembled parts of the plane. The 55-acre property previously belonged to costume designer Tony Duquette, who built more than 20 structures from found objects, and the rugged terrain favors multiple smaller structures.

New owner Francie Rehwald wanted curvilinear “feminine” shapes, and imagined a kind of floating roof set among the hills. An airplane wing sprang to architect David Hertz’s mind. The found shapes of the aircraft paradoxically echoed the indigenous feel that Duquette’s structures had established: “The 747 represented the single largest industrial achievement in modern history and its abandonment in the deserts make a statement about the obsolescence and ephemeral nature of our technology and our society.” In some sense, too, the airplane was like a giant aluminum can: a perfect metaphor for recycling — particularly because the airline industry is one most gluttonous users of aluminum cans. And design-wise, planes maximize space while minimizing materials.

Wing House will be completed by the end of this year.
