Apparently we've got some strange plane fetish going on lately, evidenced by last week's post about an old plane turned hostel and now today, this wing desk named "Deborah". There is something kind of dreamy about plane parts...
Apparently we've got some strange plane fetish going on lately, evidenced by last week's post about an old plane turned hostel and now today, this wing desk named "Deborah". There is something kind of dreamy about plane parts...

We spotted this clever creation over at Inhabitat. Initially, the desk, designed by Reestore, was a special order request for business tycoon Theo Paphitis. Now, for a mere $5000.00 you too could own your very own wing desk. If by chance that's not in this year's budget, at least this desk will get you thinking about other strange but curious things you could repurpose into a desk.

Doubtless I'm over-sensitive, but my first thought is that, right now, this post is in quite poor taste.

Maybe I'm just over-sensitive, but this seems kind of in bad taste today, given the Air France accident...

Yup! Was thinking the exact same thing.

While acknowledging that this post came at the wrong time, I would love to have one of these for my husband's office, since he builds military aircraft.

Funny that the office pictured also features the shopping cart turned into a chair.

My apologies about the timing of this post. This post was prescheduled before the accident.

Not only is this post ill-timed, but the idea is not well designed either.
The aluminum leg supports holding the desk look awful, and the support has a wing through it instead of an elegant fin.
0 stars.

For what its worth, plane crashes (particularly for small aircraft like the one this desk looks to be made of) happen surprisingly often - not that I'm trying to make light of a terrible accident.
I think it looks awesome but I probably wouldn't want to own one. Could you image trying to clean inside the wing? And if you didn't it would get so dusty.

clever yet overpriced.

Love the idea, but not the execution.
Or the price.
