A Clockwork Orange wastes no time. It examines fre

A Clockwork Orange wastes no time. It examines free will, good and evil, and almost cartoonish violence — then hurls it straight at the viewer, beginning with the jolting full-screen colour titles and that first, unforgettable scene inside the Korova Milk Bar.

Viddy well.

The camera opens on Alex’s unblinking stare before pulling back to reveal an interior designed to alarm from the outset. Production designer John Barry had seen a sculpture exhibition where female figures were presented as furniture — now known to be the work of Allen Jones, whose erotic fibreglass sculptures caused international controversy around 1970. Jones declined Kubrick’s request to use the originals, but the idea remained. The Korova’s white fibreglass nudes were instead created by sculptor Liz Moore, becoming tables, dispensers and provocations all at once.

Film and Furniture’s founder, Paula Benson, was connected to these figures — and this film — in ways she only later understood.
“Allen Jones’ muse was my first boss — his wife and design consultant Deirdre Morrow — recognisable by the same distinctive bob worn by many of his figures,” she says. "People as furniture is perhaps the ultimate objectification of women and underlines Alex and his Droogs disregard and menace. As a feminist, this should go against all my principles but on an aesthetic level I also love Allen Jones’ pop art."

Windowless and sealed off from the outside world, the Korova Milk Bar is aggressively artificial. Black walls close in. The only colour comes from wigs and pubic hair. Drinks are poured from breasts. Milk is laced with drugs. It is confrontational, deliberate — and impossible to forget.

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-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.
