Retro 8-Bit Gamer Seats

Sit on the Space Invaders Chair Instead of Playing the Game

— April 20, 2011 — Art & Design
I don't think you have to be a fan of the game to enjoy the Space Invaders Chair by Dorothy. Just about anyone who enjoys pop culture and custom furniture should get a real kick out of this seat.

The Space Invaders Chair basically takes the form of the aliens that you're used to blasting. Dorothy has got the look spot-on and she's even replicated the dizzying 8-bit look bringing some retro awesomeness to the seat. While the game has always had dull monotonic colors, the designer adds bold vibrant colors to the design. In fact, the aliens actually look friendly because of their rainbow-esque makeover.

As awesome as the Space Invaders Chair is, I'm sad to say that these are only prototypes at the moment. Let's hope that Dorothy makes these into reality soon.
