❓If the DS600 sofa were an actor, who would it be?
A bold, versatile, and powerful statement piece—it perfectly embodies Tom Hardy. Which actor would you choose?

We’re thrilled to team up with @chaplinsfurniture to explore eight iconic furniture designs, the films they’ve graced, and imagine which famous actor each piece would embody if it took human form - take a look at our website feature "From screen to scene: Furniture icons that steal the spotlight" (🔗 in bio).

🛋️ This modular sofa exhibits exceptional design and limitless configuration possibilities. With maximum functionality and distinctive comfort, the DS-600 system, created originally in 1972 by De Sede, remains an icon–a unique, versatile addition to any lounge, office or film set, such as The Hunger Games (pic 1+2), Scarface (pic 3), American Horror Story: Hotel (pic 4), Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (pic 5) and Wonder Woman 1984 (pic 6).

🐍 Inspired by an ancient snakelike mythical Alpine creature named the Tatzelwurm, the DS600 is formed of modular elements that can be combined in infinite ways to create a flowing, serpentine seating arrangement.

⟺ Each upholstered segment can be zipped together, allowing for free-flowing, mobile concepts as well as more conventional configurations. It even holds a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s longest sofa.

🇨🇭 Newly made versions of this sofa are crated in a small town in rural Switzerland using luxury leathers.

🎉 Happy James Bond Day! It's 62 years since Dr. No’s premiere.
5 October marks the annual celebration of cinema’s most beloved MI6 agent.
Let's celebrate with some fabulous films sets, with some fabulous furniture, from some classic Bonds.

"When our original James Bond, Sean Connery, made his legendary entrance at the casino table, introducing himself to Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) as Bond, James Bond,” a new screen icon was introduced. His gritty portrayal of the charismatic secret agent is, without a doubt, a key factor of the success of the film series, along with an intoxicating mix of cast, great story arc, exotic locations, and magical music. The success of Dr. No began a new genre of filmmaking for cinema audiences worldwide" - Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

Have you seen Beetlejuice Beetlejuice yet? We love

Have you seen Beetlejuice Beetlejuice yet? We love how the Shrinkers (the group of head-shrunken men, employed to work for Beetlejuice at the Afterlife Call Center) have switched up the green lamp of a traditional Bankers desk lamp for a red shade! (pic 2).

👀 If you're a Tim Burton fan then The World of Tim Burton exhibition will be a must see.

To celebrate his exceptional career, the exhibition opens at the @designmuseum on 25th October, inviting visitors to venture through five remarkable decades of creativity. A fascinating array of displays, from Burton’s earliest unrealised projects to highlights from his extensive filmography including Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and his latest work, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

💥 Want to experience it all firsthand? We’re giving away 10 tickets (5 pairs) for this extraordinary exhibition, and they could be yours! But there’s a catch—this giveaway is exclusively for our newsletter subscribers. So, make sure you're signed up by 11th October to be in with a chance to win! (🔗 in bio)

The scene would be nowt with the chair taken out!
🪑+ 💦 This scene from Flashdance is a perfect example of how a single piece of furniture can become unforgettable in film history. The chair, coupled with the dramatic cascade of water, transforms a simple performance into something electrifying. The imagery is bold, sensual, and raw, capturing the passion and power of dance.

Without the chair as a prop, the scene would lose its structure, balance, and the visual impact that makes it so iconic. It's a brilliant example of how even the simplest piece of furniture can take centre stage, becoming as memorable as Jennifer Beals herself.

🌈 Almodovar's signature pops of colour add an upbeat feel to an otherwise sobering subject in his new film The Room Next Door.

The turquoise sofa in this scene, with circular bolster arms and red piping, is a stunner! The sofa is book-ended by 2 glossy red side tables. Upon these we find a matching pair of white globe table lamps. A Louise Bourgeois artwork sits on the wall, and in front we find a large square mustard coffee table ladened with books, and a pair of Pantone mugs.

✍🏼 Stay tuned for our forthcoming article on the website with all the decor details - be sure to be signed up to our newsletter to know when it's out! (🔗 link in bio)

The Room Next Door premiers in the UK on October 25.
