Silver Screen Style: Silver and Chrome in Film
From gleaming chrome arches to futuristic metallic accents, silver has always had star quality on film – and it’s making a major comeback in 2025 interiors. Join us in a celebration of silver and chrome in film.
In The Boy Friend (1971), Ken Russell sets Twiggy and Christopher Gable against a surreal stage of mirrored geometry and dazzling light. It’s theatrical, space-age, and utterly unforgettable.
