Boeing 707 Landing Gear Door Desk — Herencia Aérea · Aviation Heritage Collection
 
A piece of fine engineering and formal sophistication that converts a critical structural component into a work surface of rigorous minimalism. This executive desk has been developed from the original landing gear bay cover of a 1968 Boeing 707, the legendary four-engine jet that inaugurated the transcontinental era and irreversibly transformed global commercial aviation.
 
The door, originally manufactured in high-strength aeronautical aluminum alloy to withstand the extreme aerodynamic and drag forces during the approach and take-off phases, serves as the main surface of the piece. The metal component has been meticulously restored by hand and assembled with a support structure in selected solid wood, joined by subtle fittings and hand-turned aluminum uprights. The result is a perfect balance between the technical heritage of the metal and the organic warmth of the wood. Conceived by Estilo Hangar as a functional work and a collector's object, this desk brings a mark of exclusivity and historic character to avant-garde private studies or executive offices.
