Many geeks have an abundance of quirky collectibles scattered around their homes. However, if you truly want your passion to stand out, let it reflect in your interior design. Check out these 11 amazing geek-inspired furniture creations from across the web.
1. The Iconic Nintendo Controller Table
Among the most renowned pieces of geek furniture globally, Charles Lushear’s Nintendo controller table is as practical as it is stylish. Not only does it function as a coffee table, but it also doubles as a massive NES controller. Now that’s what you call entertaining home décor.
2. A Scrabble-Themed Lounge Space
The letter holder couches and tile-patterned cushions alone make this seating area extraordinary, but the addition of center and triple word square tables truly completes the Scrabble-inspired setup.
3. A Tetris-Inspired Chair
While designing a chair resembling Tetris blocks is impressive, Gabriel Cañas’ Tetris chair takes it to the next level by allowing the pieces to detach. This feature pays homage to the classic game, though only Tetris pros should attempt disassembly—reassembling it into a functional chair might prove impossible otherwise.
4. A Bed Designed Like the Millennium Falcon
Without a doubt, Kayla Kromer’s Millennium Falcon bed stands out as one of the most stylish pieces of geek furniture in the universe—especially when she lounges on it dressed as Princess Leia.
5. The Totoro-Inspired Bed
This Totoro-themed sleeping space combines the comfort of a bed with the coziness of a sleeping bag, capturing the charm of Hayao Miyazaki’s beloved character. Designed primarily for children, its generous size also accommodates adults, though larger versions can be found on eBay for those needing extra space.
6. Mario-Themed Shelves and Table
Crafted by Neatorama reader Dennis and his girlfriend Judith, this incredible shelving unit and matching table feature a standout detail: the elevated top shelf, where Mario and Luigi appear to have leaped to grab a red mushroom.
7. The Pac-Man Inspired Chair
If you’d rather chase ghosts and gobble pellets than stack blocks, the PacM chair by Jose Jorge Hinojosa Primo offers a cozy way to relive the nostalgia of your favorite retro arcade game.
8. A Table Designed Like an iPhone
For those with a taste for modern design, this iPhone-themed table by iLounge readers Tuan Nguyen and Ken Thomas is a must-see. Beyond its sleek appearance, the app icons double as functional coasters.
9. The Periodic Table You Can Actually Use
For the ultimate geeky table, nothing beats this stunning Periodic Table, which includes actual samples of every element. To ensure safety and preservation, each element is encased in clear acrylic blocks.
10. The Han Solo-Inspired Desk
To give your home office a sci-fi vibe, this striking Han Solo in carbonite desk is unmatched. With illuminated sides that enhance the theme and a durable glass top, you can work on your Star Wars fan fiction without worrying about damaging Han’s iconic face.
11. A Wardrobe Inspired by the TARDIS
TARDIS Builders user trace3005 created a dream come true for his six-year-old, who asked for a TARDIS for Christmas. The result is a fully functional wardrobe modeled after the Doctor’s legendary time machine, complete with working lights and the iconic sound of the TARDIS landing when opened. It’s no surprise the young Whovian looks absolutely thrilled.
The main drawback of geek-themed furniture is its high cost—like the $8,550 Periodic Table—or the need for advanced DIY skills to craft your own. However, I’m certain some of you Flossers have dedicated the resources or effort to design your own pieces. If you have, share your story or, even better, post photos to showcase the incredible nerdiness of your home.
