Part armchair, part library. The Aviator Industrial Aluminum Armchair wraps a riveted, hand-polished metal shell around worn, vintage-style leather seating — and builds a working bookcase right into each armrest.
It's a statement piece that also earns its keep, giving you a place to sit and a place to keep the books, magazines, or objects you actually want within reach.
The Design Story
Multi-panel aluminum with exposed steel rivets echoes the patchwork skin of vintage fighter planes, while recessed metallic handles on the front panels add another layer of mechanical, aerospace-inspired detail. Every panel is hand-fitted and riveted on all sides, giving each chair its own subtle character.
Built for Comfort, Not Just Looks
Deep-seated cushions in worn, vintage-style leather bring a lived-in, comfortable feel that balances out the industrial shell. And unlike a standard club chair, the built-in side shelving means it's genuinely functional — not just something to look at.

Styling Tip
Use the built-in shelf for a small stack of hardcovers and one styled object rather than overloading it — the shelving works best as a curated accent, not a full bookshelf replacement.
