The Millennium Falcon Coffee Table is a Geeky Man Cave Essential
Michael Hines — June 11, 2011 — Art & Design
John and James M are the two brothers (geniuses) behind R-9, a design group that creates functional sci-fi art such as the Millennium Falcon coffee table. The Millennium Falcon coffee table measures 42-inches long and features a recreation of the famed ship piloted by Han Solo and Chewbacca.
The Millennium Falcon coffee table isn't exactly built solely around the ship, it actually features a model of the ship with a pane of glass over it. Still, the table is impressive and would definitely be a conversation piece. I am a fan of all kinds of Star Wars art, but functional art like this truly is where it's at. You can check out a few images of the table here, along with a bunch of other designs inspired by Han's famous spaceship.
