👀 22.6 million views and counting (by 20 September 👀 22.6 million views and counting (by 20 September). Have you spotted the outdoor kitchen and BBQ grill table in The Gentlemen Season 2?

One of the pleasures of the new season is seeing the series’ particular world of country-house grandeur, criminal enterprise and excellent design return to the screen.

One of our favourite pieces is the WildTable and larger WildKitchen, which appear beside the lake at Halstead Manor during the post-shooting-party gathering, filmed at Ashcombe House, Guy Ritchie’s Wiltshire home. We also get a particularly good look at the whole set-up in the Season 2 teaser trailer, which opens this carousel.

At the centre is the WildTable, a fire-cooking and dining table designed so the cooking happens right where everyone is sitting. Wood or charcoal burns beneath the central firebox, while a flue carries smoke upwards and away from diners.

Food can be cooked in the middle of the table while everyone remains gathered around it, and a wool “skilt” beneath helps retain warmth around the legs.

The WildTable comes in four sizes, seating four, six, eight or twelve people. Around it, the wider WildKitchen adds the retractable hardwood-and-canvas tent, seating and storage to create a complete year-round outdoor entertaining space.

It is easy to see why it works so well in The Gentlemen. The series repeatedly turns hospitality into part of the action, whether over dinner, wine, tea or a shooting-party gathering. Here, the cooking, entertaining, conversation and hefty negotiation all happen in the same place.

Luca Guadagnino and Stefano Baisi are bringing the Luca Guadagnino and Stefano Baisi are bringing their cinematic world into the home.

The director behind Call Me By Your Name, I Am Love, Queer and After the Hunt, together with architect and production designer Stefano Baisi, has created a new collection for Zara Home spanning more than 200 pieces of furniture, lighting, ceramics, textiles, fragrance and decorative objects, alongside fashion for Zara.

For us, the interesting bit is the route that brought them here.

We’ve previously interviewed @stefano.baisi about creating the heightened 1950s Mexico City of Queer, where he spoke about building a world that felt emotionally authentic to its characters, and we recently explored his richly layered interiors for After the Hunt.

That same instinct for creating complete environments runs through the Zara Home collection, with references ranging from early 20th-century Vienna and French Art Deco to Brazilian modernism and Italian radical design. There are sculptural sofas, strange drooping desks, and polished metal lighting.

And naturally, there’s a film.

Guadagnino has directed a new 20-minute short written by @scottzburns and starring Jamie Bell, Patricia Arquette, Michael Stuhlbarg and Chase Sui Wonders, with Baisi on production design.

The collection launches on 26 September.

Furniture, film and Guadagnino. You knew we were going to have thoughts.

A note from us: Since publishing this feature and sharing this post, we’ve been made aware that Zara is the subject of a boycott campaign endorsed by the Palestinian BDS National Committee, relating to Inditex’s commercial presence in Israel. Our coverage reflects Film and Furniture’s editorial focus on cinema, production design and interiors and should not be read as an endorsement of Zara or Inditex’s wider corporate activities. We’re adding this context so readers can make their own informed decisions.
🚪 Backrooms has escaped from the cinema. When we 🚪 Backrooms has escaped from the cinema.

When we first saw BACKROOMS back in June, we called it “the furniture film of the year”.

Three months, a torrent of reviews, theories and Backrooms obsession later, we’re standing by it.

Now available to rent or buy digitally in the UK, and landing on HBO Max in the US tomorrow, 25 September, there’s another chance to enter Kane Parsons’ unnerving world of endless corridors, dead shopping malls, fluorescent lighting and furniture that's arranged in the spookiest of ways.

Production designer Danny Vermette and his team constructed more than 30,000 square feet of practical Backrooms sets across four sound stages, creating spaces filled with ladder-back chairs disappearing through floors, lonely sofas, moulded plastic seating, abandoned cabinets, lamps, televisions, yellow wallpaper and, of course, one VERY large pile of furniture.

Then there’s Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, the bargain furniture showroom beneath which Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Clark discovers a portal to another reality.

Frankly, with a name like that, he was asking for trouble.

The film has become one of the big horror talking points of 2026, with critics praising the strange, disorientating world Parsons and the design team have created.

For us, the production design remains the star.

🎬 GIVEAWAY: WIN TICKETS TO SEE HIGH-RISE FROM A HI 🎬 GIVEAWAY: WIN TICKETS TO SEE HIGH-RISE FROM A HIGH-RISE! 🏢

One for the architecture and film lovers...

We’ve teamed up with @rebelreelcineclub to give one lucky Film and Furniture follower a pair of tickets to a very special screening of Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise on Thursday 1 October.

And the location could hardly be more appropriate.

The film will be shown on the terrace of Space House in central London, the extraordinary Grade II-listed 1960s office complex designed by Richard Seifert & Partners, with George Marsh as partner-in-charge. Built between 1964 and 1968, its sculptural precast-concrete grid made it one of the most distinctive commercial buildings of its period. Historic England describes Space House as one of London’s best speculative office buildings and highlights both its architectural and technical significance. 

Before High-Rise, there’ll be a DJ set plus a screening of Ines Weizman’s short film A Brief History of the Elevator Pitch.

Then settle in beneath the London skyline for J.G. Ballard’s tale of high-rise living descending into chaos, starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons and Sienna Miller.

📍 Space House, One Kemble Street, London WC2B
📅 Thursday 1 October
🕡 From 6.30pm

TO ENTER:
👉🏼 Head to the link in our bio and enter your details.

Entries close 2pm BST, Sunday 27 September.

Good luck! 🍿🏢

And if you miss out on the prize, or simply don’t want to leave it to chance, head to @rebelreelcineclub to book tickets

Venice 2026 has wrapped, and we’ve been looking at Venice 2026 has wrapped, and we’ve been looking at the interiors. No surprises there then!

Among the films that caught our eye at this year’s Venice Film Festival are stories in which architecture, domestic space and production design appear to have rather a lot to say about wealth, class, family and power.

PIC 1: Hombre al Agua
Gael García Bernal’s new film follows Camilo, a Cuban lifeguard who saves a wealthy Mexican businessman from drowning and is drawn into his family and a very different social world. The interiors already have us intrigued, particularly the richly layered, tropical setting pictured here.
Production Designer: Sandra Cabriada.

PICS 2 & 3: Woman Unknown
Winner of the Golden Lion, May el-Toukhy’s post-war Danish drama follows Marie, a young housemaid preparing to marry the wealthy widower she works for. That shift in status makes the home itself especially interesting, and these first images suggest some beautiful period interiors, from dark timber panelling and formal entertaining spaces to the more austere domestic world around Marie.
Production Designer: Sabine Hviid.

PIC 4: Bunker
Florian Zeller’s drama stars Javier Bardem as an architect commissioned to build a survival bunker for a tech billionaire, while Penélope Cruz plays his wife. With architecture at the centre of the story, this one went straight onto the Film and Furniture watchlist.
Production Designer: Alain Bainée
Set Decorator: Angela Nahum.

PIC 5: The Spiral (L’estranea)
Paolo Strippoli’s Italian family horror moves between Rome and Bari as a mother reveals that the family’s apparently prosperous life has been built around a terrible secret. The first images give us grand villas, warm wood, candlelight and increasingly ominous domestic spaces. Very much our sort of horror.
Production Designer: Marcello Di Carlo.

Four very different films, four very different visual worlds, and plenty for us to investigate as they reach cinemas.

Which one would you most like us to take a closer look at?

Her Private Hell, the new film from Nicolas Windin Her Private Hell, the new film from Nicolas Winding Refn, looks like a full-throttle feast of colour, light and design.

The trailer moves through neon blues, hot pinks and deep amber tones, with interiors ranging from a glamorous sunken lounge and mirrored dressing room to richly patterned bedrooms, theatrical fashion spaces and a gloriously retro-futurist spaceship set.

There are some wonderful details too: globe lamps, shimmering drapery, chrome, curved forms, lacquered surfaces and a transparent egg chair sitting at the centre of the spaceship set like a piece of futuristic furniture fantasy.

👀 We’ve already spotted some exact design details from the film.

You can find the exact wallpaper from Her Private Hell in the Film and Furniture Marketplace now.
