Captain’s Log: A Journey Through the Aviation Collection
I realise I’ve never properly introduced you to the Smithers Aviation Furniture Collection, and that’s on me. It’s not just one of our bestsellers—it’s my pride and joy. Born from a childhood obsession with vintage aircraft like the Red Baron, tales from my Grandad’s wartime days, and a lifelong crush on good leather and polished metal, this range has my fingerprints all over it.
This is furniture for those who want their space to say something—loudly, confidently, and with just the right dose of badass. Think sleek chrome, worn leather, and industrial rivets all combining into something that feels both commanding and cool. It’s strong. It’s elegant. And it knows exactly what it’s doing.
🪑 The Aviator Chair
For the man who has everything—and wants somewhere great to sit.
I love chairs. I have too many. But the Aviator Chair? That’s the one. Chrome-backed, rivet-detailed, wrapped in soft Italian leather that hugs like a first-class ticket. And the swivel? Smoother than a Ferrari gearbox. It turns any office into a cockpit and brings a presence that says, “I’ve arrived.” If you want your workspace to command respect without losing style, this is your co-pilot.
💼 Aviation Swivel Leather Office Desk Chair
Prefer something more understated? The Aviation Swivel Chair is your go-to. Distressed tan leather. Industrial iron frame. Polished teak armrests. It’s refined, not loud—but still refuses to be ignored. This one fits anywhere, but it truly shines in a minimalist loft where it can take center stage without shouting.
🕰️ Vintage Aviator Clock
The final touch.
Accessories matter. And the Vintage Aviator Clock proves it. Roman numerals meet aluminium panels and riveted detailing to create a wall piece that’s timeless, in every sense. It’s subtle. It’s sharp. And it looks killer next to a wingback chair. Perfect gift—if you can bear to give it away.
✈️ Vought F4U Corsair Replica Wall Art
Now we’re talking. A 120cm wingspan replica of an American WWII fighter plane, hanging from your ceiling. That’s not décor—that’s a declaration. The Vought F4U Corsair turns any room into an aviation shrine. Perfect for man caves, lofts, and any kid’s bedroom that needs a jolt of adventure.
🔫 Replica AK47 Wall Art
Relax. It’s not real. But it does look real. The Smithers AK47 Replica is made from iron, styled after WWII designs, and adds instant edge to any space. Whether you’re warding off burglars—or your mother-in-law—it’s a conversation starter. And possibly an argument ender.
🇬🇧 Vintage Union Jack Flag
You don’t need to shout to show your pride. Our Vintage Union Jack Flag, mounted on bamboo poles, is an elegant nod to heritage. It’s aviation-themed, it’s understated, and it flies well in any room. With the Euros on, now’s the time to let it wave.
🍽️ Aviator Dining Chairs
Dining should be a pleasure, not a punishment. The Iron Brown Leather Office Chair is a game changer for dining rooms. Supple leather, twin barrel legs, and a strap-backrest that just looks expensive. You’ll eat better just sitting in it. Trust me.
💡 Mohawk Tripod Floor Lamp
No room’s complete without the right lighting. The Mohawk Floor Lamp extends up to 6ft, has serious weight and a bold, boxed spotlight head. Think Area 51 vibes—but make it stylish.
☕ Aviator Coffee Tables & Armchairs
Every lounge needs a centerpiece. Enter the Mohawk (rectangular) and Spitfire (circular) Coffee Tables—both made from riveted aluminium and inspired by WWII fighters. Pair them with the Gladiator or Spitfire Armchairs and you’ve officially won the living room.
-
The Gladiator: Classic curves, rolled arms, metal sides, and soft distressed leather. It’s vintage, but razor sharp.
-
The Spitfire: Modern edges, adjustable headrest, serious swagger. This is the alpha. The chair you build a room around.
