Sunday Sofas: Sofas in Film and TV No.6 The Stiff Sunday Sofas: Sofas in Film and TV No.6
The Stiff and Proper Edition

Sometimes the sofa is where everyone sits up a little straighter.

Across period drawing rooms, royal residences, political offices and prim and proper family homes, sofas become part of social choreography. Who sits, who stands, how far apart they are, and who gets the best position can tell us plenty about hierarchy, manners and authority.

The rooms here range from Regency England and 18th-century France to Washington offices, Hollywood mansions and suburban America. Some are lavish, some restrained, but each carries a sense of expectation, convention or social performance. Even the sofa seems to know the rules.

Here are our picks of where sitting comfortably may be rather beside the point.

Stay tuned for more Sunday Sofas...

⬢ The carpet that helped inspire Film and Furnitur ⬢ The carpet that helped inspire Film and Furniture.

When we first investigated the famous Overlook Hotel carpet from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining many years ago, even the Kubrick Archive couldn’t find a reference to it in the film’s production records.

So we kept digging.

Eventually, we confirmed the design as Hicks’ Hexagon by celebrated British interior designer David Hicks. Designed before The Shining, it became inseparable from the Overlook Hotel and has since appeared, or been referenced, across film, TV and popular culture.

And yes, you can actually own the officially licensed design.

Film and Furniture supplies officially licensed Hicks’ Hexagon carpets, rugs and runners, available in the famous red, orange and dark brown colourway, with bespoke colours also available.

They’re made to order, with hand-tufted wool and printed nylon options, standard and bespoke sizes, and worldwide delivery.

A rather more permanent souvenir of the Overlook than a room key.

🔗 Head to the link in bio for sizes, prices and bespoke enquiries.

And tell us: would you put Hicks’ Hexagon in your home? If so, where?
🕸️ We haven’t seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day yet, 🕸️ We haven’t seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day yet, but judging by its extraordinary reception, we need to put that right soon.

After a record-breaking opening weekend, the film has joined the billion-dollar movie club after just six days in cinemas 🤯 becoming the second-fastest film ever to reach the milestone.

Surprisingly for a story set in New York, much of the film was made here in the UK. Glasgow city centre doubled for Manhattan during the enormous street action sequences, while filming also took place at Pinewood Studios, Fanum House in Basingstoke, Senate House and Battersea Park in London, and the former HM Prison Dorchester.

Some of the film’s most revealing details, however, can be found away from the huge action sequences, inside Peter Parker’s New York flat.

Following the events of No Way Home, Peter is living entirely alone. His exposed-brick loft feels like a workshop as much as a home, filled with homemade equipment, training weights, multiple screens, tools and the workbench where he repairs and develops his Spider-Man suit. Without Tony Stark’s laboratories and technology, the space returns Peter to his ingenious, resourceful roots.

We also spotted a familiar piece of design during the party scene at MJ’s, played by Zendaya: what appears to be a white Anglepoise lamp, adding a little British design pedigree to the Marvel mayhem.

Have you seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day yet? Which interiors, buildings or smaller design details caught your eye beyond the action?

Sunday Sofas: Sofas in Film and TV No.5, The Loung Sunday Sofas: Sofas in Film and TV No.5, The Lounging Edition

Sometimes a sofa’s most valuable role is to support the serious business of doing not very much.

On screen, sofas provide somewhere to stretch out, read, smoke, snack, sleep, recover, retreat from the world or share the cushions with a lover, a friend, a vampire or a badly behaved teddy bear.

From high end modernist seating and a repurposed bathtub to battered domestic workhorses, these are pieces made, borrowed or commandeered for relaxed living.

Here are our pick of sofas for anyone who regards sitting upright as a little too formal for Sunday.

The first-look images and teaser trailer for Verit The first-look images and teaser trailer for Verity have arrived and, alongside Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett, the Crawford house has thoroughly caught our attention.

Adapted from Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, the psychological thriller follows struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh, played by Johnson, who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for renowned author Verity Crawford, played by Hathaway.

After discovering what appear to be Verity’s deeply disturbing autobiographical notes, Lowen becomes increasingly drawn into the lives of Verity and her husband Jeremy, played by Hartnett. Fiction, confession, manipulation, attraction and obsession begin to blur.

The trailer also gives us a tantalising glimpse of an incredible house, which appears to be Beckoning Path in Armonk, Westchester County, New York, used as the Crawford residence.

Designed in the 1960s by Danish designer Jens Quistgaard for Ted Nierenberg, founder of Dansk International Designs, the 8,000-square-foot lakeside home was later restored by architecture firm BarlisWedlick.

Its Scandinavian timber, vaulted ceilings, expansive glass walls and extraordinary sawtooth copper roof give the house a seductive, slightly sinister presence. Inside, we are already admiring the warm wood panelling, layered lighting and those superb built-in bookshelves. A bestselling author’s home clearly requires shelving with some gravitas.

And is that a set of dining chairs by Søren Nissen and Ebbe Gehl for Seltz, France, we spy around the dining table?

We will have to wait until 2 October 2026 to see more, but the Crawford house is already shaping up to be one of the film’s most compelling characters.

Verity is directed by Michael Showalter.

🪑🎬 NEW FEATURE. Blade Runner furniture and interio 🪑🎬 NEW FEATURE. Blade Runner furniture and interiors: from Los Angeles 2019 to 2049 and 2099

What makes the world of Blade Runner still feel so believable more than 40 years later?

It's not just the story. It's the furniture, lighting, architecture and interiors.

From Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House and Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Argyle chair to Cini Boeri's iconic whisky glass, the original Blade Runner created a future built from real design. 

Blade Runner 2049 expanded that vision with Dennis Gassner and Alessandra Querzola's monumental interiors, Pierre Paulin's Ribbon chair, Friedrich W. Möller's Conseta chair and Umberto Riva's E63 lamp.

With Blade Runner 2099 arriving this November, we've revisited the furniture, lighting and interior design that have shaped one of cinema's most influential visual worlds, and explored why these pieces still look like the future.
