Game of Thrones season 7 is finally here! [Hoecrux] is celebrating by building a GoT inspired cell phone charger. No, this isn’t a 3D print, nor is it vacuum molded. This iron throne was hand made from hundreds of cocktail swords. The frame of the chair is made from medium density fiberboard (MDF). The frame is covered with upholstery foam, then a layer of thin gray foam which forms the surface of the chair.
[Hoecrux] then began the painstaking process of hot gluing 600 cocktail swords to her creation. Each sword had to be modified by cutting off the loop guard. Some of the swords are bent, which was achieved with a heat gun. The completed chair was finished with a coat of black spray paint, followed by dry brushing with acrylic silver paint.
This particular iron throne charger is built for an android phone. [Hoecrux] embedded a micro USB cable in the base of the seat. If you’re of the iOS persuasion, you can substitute a lightning cable.
Check out the video after the link, and while you’re at it, get a look at this beach ready solar charger setup.
Hopefully the real throne isn’t that uncomfortable.
There is no real throne. It’s a work of fiction. I am still hoping they get around to making Fevre Dream into a movie.
Is there not even a prop throne that is real (I assume it’s less work to make a prop throne than CG the throne in constantly)?
Marry me. Nice charging throne!
My laziness would prefer to 3D print something like this. That and it would take out all the guesswork. Unfortunately, this shape doesn’t lend well to printing. Kudos on the work. If I did have a go, I’d embed a Qi wireless charger to extra style points.
Exactly what i thought… it was wireless. Aparently not, but it should..
“Game of phones” or “Throne of phones”?!
That’s some amazing work right there! it looks fabulous!
