Star Wars Floor Lamps by Marty McFly is Made for Ultimate Fans
Meghan Young — January 15, 2014 — Art & Design
The Star Wars Floor Lamps are intricate light fixtures inspired by the movie franchise it takes its name from. Made out of plastic toys that have been spray painted in either metallic gold or silver, the scenes depicted are quite complex. Granted, for the price tags of $840 and $450, they would have to be. One of the light fixtures was created using the Ewok Village Playset, while the other is more of a mishmash of 'Star Wars' toys.
Created by Etsy seller Marty McFly, who is based in Bellingham, Washington, the Star Wars Floor Lamps can be considered more of a pre-made shrine for ultimate fans than a functional piece of furniture. They are works of art.
