The scene would be nowt with the chair taken out!

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)

❓If a chair from the Eames Plastic Group were an actor, who would it be?
Versatile, playful, innovative, and modern—it has to be Emma Stone. 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" (link in bio).

🧐 Presented in a range of vibrant hues, Charles and Ray Eames’ plastic group chairs (also known as the fiberglass or polypropylene group of chairs) for Vitra were first launched in 1950. The collection introduced the concept of the multifunctional chair, with side chair and armchair shells that could be combined with various bases. It quickly became one of the best-known furniture pieces of the twentieth century.

With an organic yet contemporary form, the shell seats rest upon different bases, such as the four-legged wooden base with steel ‘Eiffel’ cross struts or curved rockers of the RAR Rocking Armchair.
