Giant Millennium Falcon beanbag

This killer one-off Millennium Falcon beanbag was made for the Adidas pavilion at Barcelona's Primavera Sound festival in 2010 by a company called Woouf. It's a damned shame that it was a one-off, because I know several people who'd be very, very happy to have one of their own.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

This is for people who have a queen-bed-sized empty space in their homes, and really want to fill it up with one uncomfortable chair.

I bet this is good for sex.

  You can only have sex on this if one person is dressed like slave-bikini Princess Leia and the other like Darth Vader. Extra points if you dress like C3PO instead.

Why does it have Earthling-universal radiation symbols on the outboard side of the forward jaws?
- Kosmoid
  
  Very good catch.
  
  From wiki wiki:
  
  “The international radiation symbol (also known as trefoil) first appeared in 1946, at the University of California, Berkeley Radiation Laboratory. At the time, it was rendered as magenta, and was set on a blue background. The modern version is black against a yellow background, and it is drawn with a central circle of radius R, an internal radius of 1.5R and an external radius of 5R for the blades, which are separated from each other by 60Â°.”

    @Kosmonoid:
    “…which are separated from each other by 60Â°.”
    
    OK, what’s 60 in units of Tau?

      Well if 360Â° = 1Ï„ then 60Â° = 1/6Ï„
