68 years ago this month, Jacques Tati released Mon

68 years ago this month, Jacques Tati released Mon Oncle, a film that turned modern furniture, gadgets and architecture into one of cinema’s sharpest visual jokes.

Villa Arpel remains one of the great houses of film. A pristine modernist playground of geometric pathways, circular portholes, buzzing appliances and furniture so sculptural it barely seems designed for human bodies. The famous green sofa looks more like an art installation than somewhere to sit. Even the fish fountain only performs for important guests.

Tati understood something many films still miss: furniture changes behaviour. In Mon Oncle, every object is part of the comedy.

And yet the film never mocks design entirely. Beneath the satire sits real affection for modernism, colour, shape and invention. Watching it now, with our smart homes, curated interiors and obsession with appearance, Mon Oncle feels less like nostalgia and more like prophecy.

46 years ago this week, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shin

46 years ago this week, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining was released in the USA.

A film that terrified audiences, reshaped psychological horror, and for us at Film and Furniture, sparked a fascination with cinematic interiors and the hidden storytelling power of design.

Almost every element of the Overlook Hotel was designed to unsettle. Vast corridors stretch too long. Geometric carpets dominate the frame. The Overlook feels believable enough to exist, yet wrong enough to leave you uneasy.

And then there are the carpets.

The Hicks Hexagon corridor carpet, the Room 237 design and the Gold Room pattern have become some of the most recognisable flooring designs in cinema history. Their repeating geometry creates movement, tension and disorientation, especially during Danny Torrance’s Big Wheel journeys through the hotel.

Extraordinary to think that one carpet helped launch Film and Furniture itself. Years ago, people constantly asked us where they could buy it. That curiosity eventually led us to offer OFFICIALLY LICENSED versions of the Hicks Hexagon carpet and rugs ourselves, later joined by the Room 237 and Gold Room designs, allowing film lovers and design enthusiasts to bring a piece of the Overlook home.

Few films have fused cinema and interior design so completely. In The Shining, furniture, carpets, lighting and architecture are never background decoration. They are part of the horror.

And honestly, no corridor carpet has ever had a better career.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE SHINING 🪓

LOVED The Christophers. And LOVED the house. Dire

LOVED The Christophers. And LOVED the house.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh, The Christophers follows an ageing artist and his assistant hired by his opportunistic children to track down his valuable unfinished canvases.

Julian Sklar’s house is the film’s main stage, and it more than earns the role. The exterior was shot in Fitzroy Square, with its Robert Adam pedigree, while the interiors were built on set by merging two conjoined townhouses. The result is layered, beautifully atmospheric, fully convincing, authentically set dressed and brilliantly lit.

Among the eclectic, lived-in mix of furniture and ephemera, look out for the Jieldé Signal lamp, originally designed in 1950, its industrial feel lending a focused, almost obsessive energy to Sklar’s painting process. Then there’s that zingy orange Anglepoise on Lori’s desk in her own artist home.

Ian McKellen (@ianmckellen) is on blistering form, delivering Ed Solomon’s lines with wit and dryness, alongside michaelacoel.

And a small personal thrill: spotting the very same bench still holding court at The Griffin pub in Shoreditch, where many early 2000s evenings were spent.

Never trust a cheap furniture showroom. The Backr

Never trust a cheap furniture showroom.

The Backrooms (releasing in cinemas around May 29) is an A24 horror directed by Kane Parsons (@kanepixels), expanding his viral “found footage” YouTube series into something far more spatially ambitious.

There’s been plenty of talk around liminal spaces recently. This takes the idea and pushes it into full psychological horror.

A therapist (Renate Reinsve) searches for her missing patient (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a failed architect who discovers a portal hidden inside a low-rent furniture warehouse. It opens into the Backrooms. An endless interior of yellowed offices and looping corridors with no clear logic and no exit.

The “mono-yellow” palette does much of the heavy lifting. Walls are wrapped in aged yellow-beige wallpaper, lit by relentless fluorescent grids that flatten everything into the same uneasy tone. Familiar, but wrong.

Furniture becomes the real storyteller. Mismatched 1980s armchairs, generic desks and solitary tables appear stranded in vast, empty rooms. Elsewhere, dressers, shelving and office units are flipped, stacked or jammed together into crude barricades. Fragments of memory dragged into place and left to harden.

This is where the film lands: through the slow realisation that these interiors are built from things we recognise. The kind of pieces you pass every day without thinking. Until they start to look back.
