But if you have, you’ll recognise the final Andromedan world — completely bonkers, and we loved it.

This is the point where the film happily throws realism out of the airlock. Strange, ritualistic and gloriously unhinged.

In our podcast chat, production designer @jamesroberternestprice talks about how this world took time to land because it couldn’t be pinned down too early. Rather than designing it to make sense, the team allowed it to evolve.

Part ritual, part sci-fi fever dream, part visual mic drop.

Bonkers. Bold. Totally committed.

Inside Teddy’s Basement in Bugonia: Designing a ho Inside Teddy’s Basement in Bugonia: Designing a house of chaos -basement and all

Unlike Michelle’s immaculate, real-world home, Teddy’s (Jesse Plemons) house was built from scratch, basement and all. Every room, every awkward corner, every claustrophobic detail was designed to feel stalled in time.

In this clip from our latest Film and Furniture Podcast episode, production designer @jamesroberternestprice talks about the challenges of creating a house that feels genuinely lived-in without tipping into caricature. The basement was key. Dark, compressed and purpose-built, somewhere obsession can grow unchecked. Designing it as part of the same structure, rather than an add-on, helped the house feel whole… and inescapable.

Mismatched furniture, outdated technology, awkward layouts - hear James Price break down the build, the thinking, and the challenges in our latest Film and Furniture Video Podcast — live now on YouTube (LINK IN BIO) and all usual podcast platforms.

Michelle’s office in Bugonia is clean, stripped-ba Michelle’s office in Bugonia is clean, stripped-back and slightly intimidating - a space built around control. Production designer @jamesroberternestprice describes it as a spaceship.

The furniture choices include the Barcelona Chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe - a symbol of authority. Lighting adds another layer. The Ribbon lamp by Claire Norcross has a folded, slightly warped quality that feels modern but faintly off-kilter, while the Taliesin floor lamp by Frank Lloyd Wright brings architectural weight. 

You can find exact pieces spotted in films over on the Film and Furniture website.

In Bugonia, Michelle’s home is immaculate, control In Bugonia, Michelle’s home is immaculate, controlled and quietly intimidating. She may be suspected of being an alien… but if this is alien taste, we wouldn’t refuse a dinner party invite.

What makes it even better is that the filming location is a real contemporary house in Surrey, not a built set.

In this clip from The Film and Furniture Podcast, production designer James Price (@jamesroberternestprice) talks through how Michelle’s pristine house was designed in deliberate opposition to Teddy’s chaotic, cluttered world — and how furniture choices quietly
 shape character and power.

From the commanding Imola Chair to the rare Jan Bočan armchairs by the pool, this is a house designed to be seen.

Michelle’s (Emma Stone) house in Bugonia is… a lot Michelle’s (Emma Stone) house in Bugonia is… a lot.
Stunning architecture, jaw-dropping furniture, zero visual clutter — not a cushion out of place.

She may be suspected of being an alien, but honestly? If this is alien taste, we’ll happily take the keys.

Every room feels razor-sharp and deliberately controlled, and the furniture does a huge amount of heavy lifting.

That Imola Chair by Henrik Pedersen? Pure sculptural drama. High-backed, enveloping, and oddly commanding — it frames Michelle more like a Bond villain’s throne than somewhere you’d actually relax.

By the pool, the rare Jan Bočan armchairs are sculptural and gloriously unfamiliar on screen, they signal serious taste — the kind that doesn’t need explaining. These aren’t trend pieces; they’re collector territory.

Even the gym refuses to behave like a gym. The NOHRD treadmill and weight system turn exercise equipment into furniture you wouldn’t dream of hiding away. Fitness as design object: disciplined, elegant, and very on-brand for Michelle.

None of this is accidental. In our new Film and Furniture Podcast episode, production designer @jamesroberternestprice talks through how Michelle’s immaculate spaces were designed in direct opposition to Teddy’s chaotic house — and how furniture becomes a quiet but powerful storytelling tool throughout the film.

In our latest episode of The Film and Furniture Podcast, host Paula Benson sits down with Bugonia production designer James Price (@jamesroberternestprice) to unpack the unsettling visual world of Yorgos Lanthimos’s Bugonia. This one is for true film obsessives: unapologetically nerdy and endlessly illuminating, it goes far beyond surface aesthetics to explore how furniture, design and architecture shape the film’s gloriously bonkers logic.

BUGONIA is now streaming on key platforms and has received multiple nominations in the Critics’ Choice Awards, Golden Globes, and nominations for production design and set decoration in the SDSA (Set Decorators Society of America) Awards and the BFDG (British
