Plane Industries

Plane Industries is a British studio in Trowbridge, United Kingdom. The team turns retired aircraft parts into furniture, clocks and wall art. Everything is made in their own workshop in the South West of the United Kingdom. Products are designed, built and finished in their Bath workshop. The brand began in 2013, and it focuses on authentic aircraft parts with real history and provenance.

Pilot and aviation furniture

Plane Industries makes pieces that start life in the sky. They breathe new life into engine cowlings, wheels and fuselage sections. Each item keeps the look and feel of the aircraft it came from. Most products are made to order and often customized for each client.

Fuselage wall art and clocks

The studio offers aircraft fuselage sections from Boeing and Airbus. Sections can be cut from two to ten windows in length. They restore original acrylic passenger windows and can fit timezone clocks into the window openings. Three different metalwork finishes are available for fuselage pieces. They also powder coat fuselage sections and use a wide variety of colours. Prices on its site for clocks run from about £420 to £1,400.

How it is made

Every piece is designed, built and finished by Plane Industries in Bath. They rely on imagination, old fashioned workmanship and modern making. The goal is to make sustainable, durable aircraft furniture and airplane art with stories. Because most items are made to order, sizes, finishes and features can often be tailored. They ship to most countries around the world.

History and clients

The company was founded in 2013 by two brothers. Their venture began in 2012 under the name Fallen Furniture. Over the years they have made for hundreds of clients including Red Bull, General Electric and Ryanair. Their work has been featured in publications.

Pilots and aviation fans like Plane Industries because the parts are real and the stories are clear. Each piece shows where it came from, and the workshop finish keeps the aircraft spirit alive at home or at work.
