I’ve been looking for a cool executive desk for a while, but often I find them too high class or professional for my tastes. But I think I’ve finally found something cool enough for the /Film Offices - The Han Solo in Carbonite Executive Desk. Too bad it’s not on sale. Tom Spina Designs created this desk for Mark Hall of the Grammy Award winning group Casting Crowns.
“We had someone looking for a highly unique desk with a sci-fi theme for his home theater/home studio office. I created several designs and eventually hit upon the idea of using a Han in Carbonite (derived from an old Illusive Concepts artist proof) as the top of a 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.”
But I really wonder how the desk might look with a screen, keyboard, mouse, mousepad, and all the other junk which needs to be on top of it to function. Thanks to Derek, Bryan, and anyone else who sent this in to us.

Pretty sweet! You should be able to get anyone’s likeness done up like that. Ex-wives, etc. I’m sure for a fee it could happen…

How to see if you have too much money: Buy this. Seriously, this would be going too far with the fanatacism.

Its a cool idea, but I don’t know how durable glass is as a desktop. Anyone ever had issues with breaking desktops that are made of glass?

He mentioned my name!! Why is that such a cool thing, even when your name gets mentioned all the time in other places?
Anyway, this desk is awesome and I would have it in a second if I could afford it. Alas, the PowerBall lottery victory still eludes me.
And to answer Alexfromqueens question above, glass topped desks are just fine if the glass is tempered. We have a conference room table with a glass top and it is huge and works great. No problems at all. Other than fingerprints.
