It may not protect you during a bombing raid, but the ‘Blackhawk Secretary Trunk’ will definitely add a sense of character and ruggedness to your home décor.

American furniture chain Restoration Hardware has designed a trunk inspired by aircrafts from the mid-20th -century—with intentionally-placed scratches, dents and other imperfections to give it a vintage feel.

Made with a patchwork of matted aluminum panels wrapped in hardwood, the trunk opens into a sturdy-looking workstation equipped with drawers, shelves and a computer table.

The Blackhawk Secretary Trunk is retailing at US$4,295 each on Restoration Hardware’s webstore.
