Han Solo In Carbonite Desk

February 24th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m a huge Star Wars fan so I had to post this on the blog. Tom Spina Designs created a super unique desk for a client. The desk depicts Han Solo after he is frozen in carbonite and handed over to bounty hunter Boba Fett, who intends to return his quarry to Jabba the Hutt for a large reward in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.

Tom one of the two guys that created the desk explains:

We had someone looking for a highly unique desk with a space or SW theme for his home theater/home studio office. I created several designs and eventually hit upon the idea of using a Han in carbonite as the top of an combination desk and art piece.

I did the initial concept and sketches and Richard handled the details, worked with the metal shop and did the final build. Two RPF’rs also contributed resin detail pieces (where better to go than the RPF for the best parts around?).

The main “box” for the desk is custom metal, as are the computer cut side boxes which both light up with an orange glow. The piece is finished with a 1/2″ thick glass table top.
