The Armchair by Svyatoslav Boyarincev, a furniture designer based in Saint Petersburg, Russia, was inspired by the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk stealth aircraft. Although it might not have the sophisticated equipment that the United States Air Force outfitted the military plane with, the seat is nevertheless still very impressive to look at. The clean lines and faceted details of the F-117 informs the overall form of this seat. The sides even look as though they are folded down wings of the original F-117.
Of course, the Armchair by Svyatoslav Boyarincev is made out of plastic with a metal frame. The softer elements are fashioned from plywood, covered with synthetic padding and upholstered with leather. Sleek and contemporary, it is perfect for pristine modern homes with a masculine energy.
