This Jet Engine Chair with Suck You in and Won’t Let Go

Furniture all tends to look the same. unless you make it out of airplane parts, anyway. Check out the BAe-146 Cowling Chair made by Plane Industries. It will make you feel like you are flying while sitting still. Not really. But it does look cool as hell.

This extravagant chair is made from the jet engine cowling of a British Aerospace 146 plane. It’s perfect for an evil villains lair. Or any rich person’s lair for that reason. You can sit there and be like, “I gotta jet!” Then get up and leave. See if anybody gets the joke. Then your airplane jokes can get really old really fast. It looks great, but I couldn’t sit on it without thinking about getting sucked into the fan blades.

It’s the shiniest and roundest chair I’ve ever seen. Now if I can just get a section of the wing for a dinner table I think I have the start of a really cool super villain’s home. Obviously, there’s no price listed, because if you have to ask you can’t afford it. You have to contact them to get the price and then pass out from the shock.
