About the art
Artist statement
Limited Edition of 3
Announcing an exclusive collaboration between Disney and Grafunkt to commemorate the much anticipated film release of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” this December, Nathan Yong — Co-Founder of Grafunkt has come up with a series of 4 stool / side table designs available in limited runs as a Star Wars collectible edition.
This series of collectible sculptures offer not just aesthetic but also a good design consideration for functionality as furniture pieces, striking an impeccable balance between Art and Design. Each design has limited pieces produced exclusively using different marble types sourced intricately and are modelled after iconic characters — Sandcrawler, Millennium Falcon, TIE-Fighter and AT-AT; each character having won over its own legion of fans in the film sequels.
The Millennium Falcon and TIE-Fighter were chosen to represent the duality of the Light and Dark side, whilst the AT-AT and Sandcrawler were chosen for their strong visual and architectural aspects respectively.
“I am stoked to have the opportunity to collaborate with Disney on this collection as Star Wars is very much a part of me and my generation’s life with its imperative pop culture impact and influence. Being a classic film while its contemporaries fade into obscurity, Star Wars remains timeless, accompanying us from boyhood through adulthood,” says Nathan.
“I hope to immortalise this journey of our evolving aesthetic sense as well, with this art and design-centric collection being a reflection of our current pop culture — one that challenges people’s mindset and perception of what film merchandising can be.”
