Moving on let’s have a look at the collection.
VADER Armchair
Featuring a foldable swivel table and an open weave canopy, this armchair combines work and comfort, making it a double duty in function. Its seat cushion resembles Vader’s mask made by meticulous stitching. Essentially, it is your private sitting pod to have a cup of tea and work by side.
SIDIOUS Armchair
To achieve the looks of Darth Sidious, this easy armchair has a backrest resembling a hood and slightly curved forward legs. It imitates the powerful and formidable looks of Sith Lord.
IMPERIAL WINGS Armchair
Inspired by the TIE fighter, the Imperial Wings armchair features handwoven polyethylene wings on two sides. They function like privacy screens.
CHEWIE Rocking Stool
Sitting on a shiny metal base, this rocking stool is covered with microfiber strips, colored brown to emulate Chewbacca’s hairy body. The unique appearance of the rocking stool reflects playfulness.
LITTLE JEDI Hanging Lamp
Little Jedi hanging lamps consist of steel and salago fiber applied by hand. There are miniature figurines of Jedi Knights holding lightsabers as a light source of the lamp. The red figurine symbolizes the Sith Lord.
