One of the individuals I met was Matteo Bulletti of Delta Interior Design, an Italian firm that specializes in installing interiors for both private and commercial jets, aircraft maintenance, record keeping, and other services.
All good and well, but at the end of the meeting as we shook hands Bulletti mentioned something else, almost as an afterthought.
"By the way, this is one more thing I'm involved with," said
Bulletti, passing me a brochure for another company he runs, Delta Art Design.
Delta Art Design takes old aircraft parts and converts them
to furniture. Parts used in the series come from a range of classic aircraft
including the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, Vought A-7 Corsair II, Lockheed
Martin C-130, Boeing KC-97 Stratotanker, B-52, and Grumman OV-1 Mohawk.
Something to think about when moving into the new flat.

There was a television series on the Discovery channel in the US called "WingNuts" that followed the exploits of two men as they ran their business "Motoart" that converted aircraft pieces into high end furniture.
So if you want a wing coffee table or an engine nacelle reception desk, and you're located in the US, you won't have to import your furniture from Italy.
