I love when art is functional like this coffee table, whose base is made from an old plane engine.
Currently on display at Decoratum Gallery in London, the Cylinder Radial Engine Table is made from a US Army Boeing-Stearman PT-13 engine acquired from the Canadian Museum of Flight, Langley, British Columbia. Constructed between 1936 and 1938, the innovative piece features a simple clear glass top so you can see through to the complex engine workings below.
The table can be purchased through Decoratum Gallery for a cool £19,750.

Can we put a piece of glass on top of any sculptural object and call it ‘design’?

This is truly art, creative and well executed.

This is a really cool piece. Although, getting underneath it and trying to lift it would be hard work.
