The latter, has just partnered up with Lucasfilm and Disney to create handmade, elegant and high-end furniture inspired by the world of Star Wars. The collection was introduced at Salone del Mobile (Milan, Italy), earlier in April. The award winning designer strove in order to create pieces of furniture that both stay true to the essence and image of the Star Wars franchise but also highlight his own unique and sophisticated style.

“I wasn’t sure how to marry my design philosophy and language with that of the Star Wars franchise, but I decided to view it simply as a design challenge,” Kenneth Cobonpue said. “I knew I needed to incorporate the various shapes and motifs from the world of Star Wars sufficiently enough to make them recognizable, but to also stop short of being too literal. Finding that balance proved to be the project’s biggest challenge for me.”
