New Product | Aviator Shelving Bookcase

We are so proud of our newest addition to our aviator furniture pieces. This baby is a beast, weighing 300 lbs, and is a stunning statement bookcase with its gorgeous polished look.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you our Aviator Shelving Bookcase.

It features four removable shelves, making it easy to store your style and size contents. Bonus about the shelves being removable is that it sure makes it easier moving this bookcase when the shelves aren't adding their weight.

Our classic metal patchwork uses exposed steel screws on aluminum, giving it that beautiful look reminiscent of vintage WWII aircraft.

Got uneven floors? We have you covered with our 4 adjustable feet, making it sit perfectly on even those floors that were built so long ago that you could roll a ball one direction across the floor and it would start to roll a whole different direction.

Yes, we have one of those houses. A 1930s beauty. Full of character.

But that's what I like about the old. When you mix an antique wooden dresser with something new, like an artistic pendant lamp or a soft white shag rug, and continue that pattern of mixing the old and new throughout the entire living space, it gives such warmth and beauty to an otherwise stale room.

Give it a try. Mix the old with the new, and see what happens.

 

Until next time,

Alicia

 

Q & A | Does RamonaMetal Use Recycled Aiplane Parts or New Metal

A question we have been asked quite often is:

Do you use recycled airplane parts?

That is a great question.

As of right now, no. Maybe someday. Perhaps.

Used airplane parts, and lots of them, are hard to come by where we live, completely surrounded by fields. Lots of fields.

For us as a small family owned business, its all about being handmade here on American soil. We take pride in our craftsmanship. Every set screw. Every cut of metal.

We have chosen to use new metal and new wood. We are inspired to create something beautiful with our hands and present it to you as a polished, hand crafted piece.

We modify the designs. We make something new. We custom build.

It is what we do. We are American made.

Let me show you some behind the scenes looks at some of our fabulous handcrafted aviator inspired products and some of the materials we use.

Here we have Tyler, Eric's cousin, rolling on a coat of classic black on the underside of our Jetset Coffee Table tops, made of solid plywood.

And the finished product, wrapped in a sheet of semi-reflective aluminum, with laser cut aluminum legs.

Here Eric is working with lots of angles, putting the sheet metal on The Hanger Light.

And a finished shot of The Hanger Light with our Airframe Table, made with aluminum legs, and hand-rubbed solid red oak top.

We are proud to be American made.

Have more questions for us? We'd love to hear! Send us a message, and we'll see about answering them on our next Q & A blog post.

New Product | Standby Console Table | Aviator Furniture

We've combined two of our furniture styles into a classic new look:

The Standby Console Table.

The polished aluminum metal brightens even the smallest of spaces, and the simplicity of the 90 degree aluminum leg design adds both a vintage and contemporary aviator look.

The Standby Console Table combines the polished aluminum patchwork look of our Airfoil Desk that is reminiscent of early American war aircraft...

...with the seamless leg design of our Airframe Desk here.

Aluminum Vs. Anodized Aluminum | Airplane Style Furniture

If you have a small space to furnish, aluminum is a great choice. Similar to the effect that hanging a large mirror in a small space does to create the illusion of a larger area, adding a highly reflective object, such as one of our furniture pieces, reflects the light and brightens the space, giving the room a larger feel.

We have been broadening the selection of metal types available here at RamonaMetal for our different pieces of aviator furniture, and now have available two types of aluminum material for two completely different looks.

One is aluminum, and the other is anodized aluminum.

What is the difference?

First off, the sheen. As you can see below, the aluminum is semi-reflective of the surroundings, giving a more mirror-like appearance, while the anodized aluminum gives it a matte look.

Aluminum’s greatest asset is that it doesn’t rust. There is no paint or coating to wear off. Anodizing the aluminum is a process that increases the thickness of the coating, making it harder, thicker, and even more resistant to corrosion. It is more durable from normal wear and usage.

Anodized aluminum can also be made into different colors, such as black, that we use in all of the pieces of our Black Ops Collection.

Pure aluminum has a beautiful reflective quality.

Anodized aluminum has more durability.

Both have a stunning look.
