Jacques Tati’s Playtime (1967) remains one of cine Jacques Tati’s Playtime (1967) remains one of cinema’s most visionary explorations of modern architecture and design — a satire and a love letter rolled into one.

Its gleaming glass grids, uniform offices and hyper-rational cityscape (built from scratch as “Tativille”) still feel startlingly contemporary in the increasingly corporate world we find ourselves in today. Tati’s meticulous sets blur the line between utopia and alienation — a world of order that leaves humanity slightly out of step.

A reminder that good design lasts — and great design makes us question the world we build around ourselves.

From Michelle’s sleek corporate office and modern From Michelle’s sleek corporate office and modern home to Teddy’s ramshackle isolated house and basement, we’ll be diving into the worlds of Bugonia with production designer James Price — the creative mind behind Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest fever dream of power, paranoia and design.

🎥 Stay tuned for our forthcoming video podcast and in-depth website feature, where we uncover the stories behind the furniture, architecture and visual symbolism of Bugonia.

💬 Got any burning questions for James about the film’s sets, design process or working with Yorgos? Drop them in the comments below before 5pm UK time TODAY (Monday 10th Nov) — we might include yours in the interview.

Long before 2001: A Space Odyssey, William Cameron Long before 2001: A Space Odyssey, William Cameron Menzies and production designer Vincent Korda imagined the architecture of tomorrow in Things to Come (1936).
Its gleaming Perspex furniture, spiralling ramps and glass-lit 'council chambers' turned design into ideology — a future where transparency meant progress, and architecture became a moral compass.

F&F's Paula Benson be delving into this visionary film (amongst other SciFi classics) to investigate how cinema has shaped our idea of the “future” — in her upcoming talk at the Vitra Design Museum, and in F&F's forthcoming book on design in film.

Things to Come remains one of cinema’s most audacious experiments in imagining how we might live.

The brilliance of After the Hunt is that Alma’s ap The brilliance of After the Hunt is that Alma’s apartment doesn’t just look lived-in — it thinks. Guadagnino never treats interiors as backdrop; he uses them as subtext.

In Frederik’s study we find a striped sofa from Guadagnino’s own collection, an Eileen Gray E1027 side table, and Josef Albers on the walls — not styling for style’s sake, but cultural literacy expressed through furniture.

The bedroom is where the tone shifts inward: a Milanese Guglielmo Ulrich bed, textile hangings after Anni Albers, and soft sculptural bedside lamps — intimate, but still exquisitely controlled.

We are closer to Alma’s inner world here, but not yet past the guardrails.

👀 We’ve broken down each of these pieces — and their real-world sources — in our full feature.

By the time we reach the dining room and kitchen, By the time we reach the dining room and kitchen, After the Hunt shifts from personality to lineage — this is the history Alma (Julia Roberts) is standing on.

The dining room centres on a Josef Hoffmann table that Production Designer Stefano Baisi (@_benseena) sourced after visiting Lobmeyr in Vienna — an heirloom-level object softened with domestic touches so it feels inherited rather than displayed.

The kitchen carries the earliest generational layer: cool, orderly, European modernism — the echo of émigré grandparents and early Bauhaus restraint. This is not trend, but origin.

And then the hallway: the Alvaro Barrington fish painting from Guadagnino’s own collection, a quiet marker of migration, identity and selfhood beneath the polish. 

Here, the house stops being scenery and becomes biography.

👀 We’ve broken down these symbolic rooms — and more hidden design logic from Baisi — in our full feature

In After the Hunt, Luca Guadagnino uses interiors In After the Hunt, Luca Guadagnino uses interiors the way other directors use confessionals — the room speaks before the character does.

We meet Alma (Julia Roberts) through her apartment: a Manhattan-style Classic Seven transplanted to Yale, signalling an intellectual world built on curation, heritage and cultivated taste. New Haven on paper, Upper West Side in psychology.

The living spaces are her “public self” — red walls and deep tobacco velvets, then a soft shift to Morris & Co florals and inherited ease. Even the Verner Panton Flowerpot lamp feels like a quiet credential rather than décor. The modernist silhouettes, the African sculptures, the enfilade layout: everything is a cue.

Before Alma says a word, the furniture tells us who she believes herself to be.

Spot any other design ‘tells’ in this room?
