Wes Anderson: The Archives is now open at the @des

Wes Anderson: The Archives is now open at the @designmuseum — and it’s a treasure trove.

We were captivated by the spiral-bound notebooks: handwritten sketches, early scene ideas and embryonic visuals that reveal just how early Anderson begins shaping the worlds we eventually see on screen.

Fans of The Darjeeling Limited, The Royal Tenenbaums and The French Dispatch will also spot beautifully crafted objects from each film, nestled among models, props and concept art spanning three decades of Anderson’s work.

It’s an extraordinary look at the craft, collaboration and design thinking behind Anderson’s cinematic worlds.

🚀 Who's in need of a sprinkle of space-age optimis

🚀 Who's in need of a sprinkle of space-age optimism and a dash of superpowers? That’s the visual flavour of Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel’s take on the superhero family. As production designer Kasra Farahani told us, this world is a retro-futurist dreamscape — one shaped by a single, brilliant mind: Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic (Pedro Pascal). In this alternate 1960s, Richards’ influence bends the design timeline, creating a world where architecture, furniture and technology evolve in his image. “The inflection point,” says Farahani, “is the birth of Reed Richards.”

In this reimagined world, flying cars are real, Tulip Tables orbit sunken seating areas, Cobra Lamps glow like celestial objects, and Calder-style mobiles float through the air. Drawing inspiration from the curvaceous forms of Oscar Niemeyer, the clean lines of Eero Saarinen, and the sculptural flair of Verner Panton, the film’s design language implies a refined and elegant version of futurism.

🖤 What happens when you paint a bedroom black?
In Park Avenue, writer–director @gabydellal turns colour into emotion. The film’s intimate mother–daughter story unfolds inside an Upper East Side apartment where design speaks louder than dialogue.

For Kit’s bedroom, Dellal chose inky black walls to make Fiona Shaw’s satin pyjamas and red hair glow against the darkness — a space of beauty, memory, and melancholy.

“We found another apartment with black walls,” she told us. “It was awful — but we said, whatever we do, we’re painting the bedroom black.”

From the distressed pink silk headboard (borrowed from Dellal’s own home) to apricot sheers that catch the Manhattan light, this is production design to inspire our own homes.

🕯️ Reflections, doubles and the search for identity.
In Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, mirrors and circles recur like haunted symbols — echoing the film’s questions of creation and self. Dressing tables and vanity mirrors become sites of introspection as much as beauty; the architecture itself seems to question what it means to be human.

We’re exploring these film sets and interiors — from the corroded grandeur of Frankenstein’s lab to the candlelit vanities of the family estate — and we’ll soon be speaking with production designer Tamara Deverell herself.

What would you like to ask her? 🪞💬
Share your questions below — on mirrors, identity, the lab’s design, or the gothic furniture that frames this darkly poetic world.

In Park Avenue, writer-director Gaby Dellal brings

In Park Avenue, writer-director Gaby Dellal brings her dual talents for storytelling and interior design into vivid focus. Starring Katherine Waterston and Fiona Shaw, this poignant drama—set almost entirely within a Park Avenue apartment—presents an intimate mother-daughter reunion shaped as much by design as by dialogue.

💡The dark hallway pops with sophisticated art from artists such as Jenny Scobel and Eli Tamarkin, punctuated with a Stilnovo wall sconce.

🪑 The living room is the emotional arena—a stage for sparring and reconciliation. Classical mouldings and a marble fireplace frame the scene, while sage-green walls, tall sash windows and rich textures lend depth. The Eames Lounge chair and ottoman sit beside a grand piano, both symbols of comfort and control.

🎨 The dining area is defined by a dark wall painted in Farrow and Ball Hague Blue (a near black blue with a hint of green) which serves as a dramatic canvas for the Chinese mask collection. A lighter sage-green room divider borders the space, softening the transition into adjoining rooms and framing the composition like a stage. An antique brass chandelier and a long mahogany table anchor the room, flanked by chairs that suggest generations of use.

☕️ Delicate ceramics and crockery (many from BDDW) paint brushes, books, and a gleaming glass decanter appear and disappear as the story unfolds, turning this multipurpose space into a portrait of cultivated disorder and lived-in grace.

In a club, William Morris wallpaper hugs the walls.
