Dieselpunk furniture

This is a North American B-25 Mitchell medium bomber:
B-25 Mitchell
This type of bomber is possibly best known for the Doolittle Raid, April 18th, 1942. If you do not know what I am talking about, that’s the thing that happens in the movie Pearl Harbor towards the end.
Nearly 10,000 B-25 Mitchells were built, so naturally, quite a few remained stored away somewhere, eventually to be sold to aviation enthusiasts or for scrap…
Now, there is one company (thanks again to my loyal informant Timo for bringing it to my attention) which recycles the Mitchell bomber. The company, Motorart, produces very dieselpunk aviation furniture, like this desk, made from parts of the Mitchell:

They have more to offer. So if you want to dieselpunk your home, check them out. I think there are not many companies around which fill that particular niche of the market.
I am an anthropologist and in this capacity a minor scholar of the Cthulhu Mythos and H.P. Lovecraft. I am also quite obviously heavily into Steampunk and Dieselpunk and like travelling.
