Charles “Chuck” Palahniuk, journalist and Fight Club novelist, has donated one of the original “ying yang” table set pieces that was used and featured in David Fincher’s film version of his award-winning book. The auction for the table started on eBay today, with proceeds benefiting The Pixie Project, a non-profit organization in Portland, Oregon that provides animal adoption and other related services.
The faux Ikea table, named “FRUKTBAR” in the film, quite stylishly and with flair has the provenance literally written on it by Mr. Palahniuk:
