Here is the description at the website:

Reflecting the magic of a glamorous past, Walt Disney Signature, a distinctive home furnishings lifestyle brand speaks to contemporary tastes by infusing the best elements of the past into elegant, comfortable and stylish design, always with a touch of whimsy.

Disney Home introduces Walt Disney Signature, a home furnishings and lifestyle brand inspired by the imagination and heritage of legendary innovator, Walt Disney
In the tradition of today’s branded home collections, Walt Disney Signature will serve as a quality lifestyle brand for all home categories. The Disney Home collection will feature furniture and home décor inspired by the living spaces of Walt Disney
The brand essence captures and illustrates a time in Walt’s life – reflecting sophisticated elegance with moments of Disney whimsy
In Disney’s tradition of storytelling, the Walt Disney Signature brand will invite people to experience Walt’s attention to detail and elegant yet comfortable style through great pieces for the home
The Furniture collection, Walt Disney Signature by Drexel Heritage will include an integrated assortment of iconic case goods for the home -- all inspired by furniture from Walt’s home and office, yet modernized for today’s consumers
Beautiful finishes and detail were inspired by the quality and design of the 30’s and 40’s with contemporary, modern twists for today. Inspiration will initially be drawn from the art-moderne style of the original Walt Disney Studio buildings and Walt’s own office.
Walt’s influence spans multiple generations, similarly, inspiration for future Walt Disney Signature collections will draw from the many styles and eras that colored his life

This is a bit of a stretch, especially since Kem Weber, a REAL designer did the studio furniture, and now they are doing an "art disco" version.

You'd think they'd do the official Kem Weber Collection with the Airline chair.

This is as bad an idea as "Walt Disney Frozen Popsicles"

Oh I dont know - i kinda like it. very 1960's retro

i can see why they are "inspired" by disney - i think i remember seeing a pic of his office and he had a desk something like that.

If Thomasville can have great success with their line of Ernest Hemingway inspired furniture, I'd think there would be a market for a "Disney Inspired" line.

I'd love that for my house. Mmm... now, if only I had a house.
