Hopefully, when you read the title of this post, your first reaction wasn’t “Huh?” because that would make me feel extra old. And I don’t want to feel old at the moment. But in case you are entirely unfamiliar with Space Invaders, let’s just say it’s a classic arcade game whose alien enemies have become iconic in certain circles. You might say it’s a nerd chic thing. And I, being a nerd, have been encountering a lot of these guys as of late. Here are three examples:

From Michael Siney Designs, Space invaders mirrors are a playful way to invite aliens into your home. At about $60 each, they’re not exactly cheap, but if you’re a fan of the video game then maybe it’s worth the price.

Loudmouth Print House makes Space Invaders vinyl wall decals that will make you feel like you’re in the arcade game itself. The best part? You can configure them any which way for easy play or difficult!

And finally, a comfy leather couch by Igor Chak – it immortalizes the game by giving one invader a new three dimensionality. Lest you think it’s not comfortable, the Space Invaders couch is actually filled with memory foam. It’s not in regular production, but Chak has said he’s happy to work with clients to create one-of-a-kind pieces.
