For one of my projects, I needed a gaming chair. This is my version of it.

The main change from the previous version is that I added a new skin in medium lilac color. As I said, the inspiration was the chair from the "41755 Nova's Room" set, and it was that color, which I really liked. But how hard it was to find the right parts! (That's why I didn't make this skin right away.) I ended up using the following sets:

  • actually, from the set "41755 Nova's Room" I took only the part "6057386: FLAT TILE 2X2";
  • the parts "4613192: FLAT TILE 1X2" I took from the set "76399 Hogwarts™ Magical Trunk" and three [sic] sets of "43214 Twirling Rapunzel";
  • I bought the "43223 Asha in the City of Rosas" set for the "6167472: FLAT TILE 2X4" part;
  • part "4225142: PLATE 2X3" was also taken from the set "76399 Hogwarts™ Magical Trunk" (forgive me, the sofa from the Common Room!); first, I used parts "6167461: CORNER PLATE 1X2X2" from the set "41755 Nova's Room", but in this case the minifigure started to be removed together with one of them.

I also replaced some of the black plates with similar ones in earth blue color. How did this happen? At first, I planned to make them all black, but I couldn't find parts "4161332: LEFT PLATE 2X4 W/ANGLE" and "4160869: RIGHT PLATE 2X4 W/ANGLE" in this color and used similar ones from the set "75579 Payakan the Tulkun & Crabsuit". Then, from there, I also took the part "4613335: PLATE 2X4X18°". Then I found the part "4667595: PLATE 2X4" among my inventory (it appeared there from the "60376 Arctic Explorer Snowmobile" set). And then I thought it looked so much better! All that was left was to replace the parts "6020193: ANGULAR PLATE 1.5 BOT. 1X2 1/2" (for this, I bought two [sic] sets of "76242 Thanos Mech Armor," but on the plus side, I now have two Infinity Gauntlets!). That is, again, the lack of parts stimulated creativity and led to a better result (see the previous version — same story there).

Finally, I replaced the parts "6215212: PLATE, W/ HALF BOW, INV. 1X2X2/3" in dark stone grey color, which looked too bright against the dark chair body. I wanted the chair skin to be the first thing to catch the eye. I also made these parts in earth blue color (taking them from the "71479 Zoey's Cat Motorcycle" set — there are 8 of them!), thus completing the concept that the body is a black skeleton (which connects the disparate parts), surrounded by an earth blue outer layer on one side and a bright skin on the other.
