What’s this all about?Sit like an Executive (Club)
If you’re an AV geek, then there’s always something cool out there to buy that will bring the flying experience to your home. I still drink my coffee from a set of first-class mugs that I bought during Covid.
What’s this all about?
A company called Jayyviation posted a TikTok showing how they turn old BA economy seats into office chairs. It was an interesting watch (see below) and a popular one with over 750 likes. It’s not a quick or easy process.
@jayyviationltd The BA desk chair. Meticulously crafted from a British Airways passenger seat. This chair retains the comfort, elegance, and heritage of its original purpose, having once served travelers aboard a British Airways aircraft. The chair is upcycled, transforming the passenger seat into a stylish and functional office or home desk chair. It features the original high-quality upholstery, sleek design, and adjustable components, ensuring that it offers both comfort and a connection to aviation history. The sturdy base and added mobility enhance its practicality for modern use, while the provenance as a British Airways seat gives it a unique story and charm. Ideal for aviation enthusiasts, frequent flyers, or anyone looking to bring a touch of travel nostalgia into their workspace, this desk chair blends luxury, sustainability, and history in a way that few other furniture pieces can. https://jayyviation.etsy.com #AviationUpcycling #UpcycledAviation #Boeing747 #747JumboJet #AviationHistory #AviationArt #UpcycledAircraft #PlaneRecycling #AircraftUpcycling #AviationCollectibles #Boeing747Love #UpcycledAviationArt #747Forever #JetArt #Boeing747Fans #AviationMemorabilia #747Nostalgia #VintageAviation #RecycledPlanes #747Retirement #AircraftRepurpose #PlanePartsUpcycled #BoeingHeritage #AviationCrafts #747Upcycled #JetMemories #UpcycledAircraftParts #BoeingJumbo #747Legacy #PlaneCollectibles #AviationGifts #747Retired #BoeingCollectors #AirplaneArt #AviationEnthusiasts #747History #Boeing747Collectors #PlaneRepurpose #UpcycledAviationParts #AircraftHeritage #747Collectors #VintageJumboJet #Boeing747Nostalgia #AviationDecor #747Lovers #UpcycledAviationDesign #BoeingJumboJet #AircraftMemories #747Art #AviationSouvenirs #Up ♬ original sound – Jayyviation
In the video they say 30 of the chairs have been sold so far and shipped them across the globe. Unfortunately the BA economy office chair is currently marked as sold out. They do have premium economy seats available, alongside lots of other interesting plane memorabilia at a range of prices.
How much does the chair cost?
The economy seat is priced at £680. There’s a Premium Economy seat available for £1,000, including the tray table that folds out from the arm. There’s also a BA first-officers seat from a 747 for £3,000.
