Alien (1979) - Xenomorph concept applied to furniture

This is a film I've seen countless times and never got bored of, especially the initial trailer of it. The trailer is a long, sweaty build up of tension and fear, with alien like howls and heart beat sound effects to reinforce that building tension.

This trailer is portraying the helplessness of one trapped in the vast darkness that is outer space, and the climax of the trailer, is the final sentence.


'In space no one can hear you scream'

Side note. The actual aliens in the film were designed by H.R Giger himself, a previously mentioned artist in this blog.

With the trailer to get you into the mood, especially to obtain the feel of what the Xenomorph menace really look like, I would like you to notice how Giger took the same design of the Alien, and transformed it into a stable desk chair. I edited two images together, the original concept art of the alien and the actual chair that was designed.

A side by side image of the Xenomorph art, and the desk chair that was developed from it.

As you can see, you have very similar elements between the two images, namely the ribbed areas forming the back of the chair, the 'vents' which can be seen below the seating as well on the concept art as well.
The most important part would be that although the chair developed from the Alien concept, they retained many features, like the combination of Organics and Mechanics.
