M — September 17, 2015 — Art & Design
If you're a Star Wars fan patiently awaiting the release of the newest movie to join the saga, perhaps this Millennium Falcon model table is just what you need to add to your home decor. The stylishly modern coffee table features a base made of fake asteroids and a miniature replica of Han Solo's infamous spacecraft, the Millennium Falcon.
Designer Richard Riley from Tom Spinda Design created this table using a Hasbro toy set of the Millennium Falcon. From there, the toy spaceship was added to several life-like asteroids that were constructed by hand to be exact replicas of the ones featured throughout the course of the film. The spaceship is inserted diagonally between the rocks to simulate the look of flight with a rounded glass table top placed above.
