In Bob Dylan’s apartment in A Complete Unknown, In Bob Dylan’s apartment in A Complete Unknown, we find a 1960s Olivetti Lettera 32 typewriter—an iconic vintage piece that captures the essence of 60s cool. While it's possible Dylan’s actual typewriter was a Lettera 22, the film’s set decorator @reginamgee chose the 32 for its functionality on screen.

A stunning piece like the Olivetti Lettera is a perfect addition to any office or vintage collection—bringing a touch of history and style to your space.

Did you know? The very first Eames lounge chair an Did you know? The very first Eames lounge chair and ottoman was designed in the 1950’s by Charles and Ray Eames as a gift for Billy Wilder, the director of the classic film Some Like It Hot. 

It has gone on to be one of the most iconic creations in the furniture world.

Charles and Ray Eames’ furniture feature in multiple movies: When film set decorators need to convey a character’s good taste and style or when they simply need an extremely handsome piece in a domestic or office setting, we’ll often spot an Eames creation and more than often a classic Lounge chair.

This, the most famous and desirable of all Eames has been featured in film and TV programmes as diverse as House of Gucci, in Tony Stark’s mansion in Iron Man, Click (2006), Sunday in New York (1963), The Ghost Writer (2010), Frasier, Gossip Girl (where it was recovered in a gorgeous Missoni fabric), Hope Springs (2012), the Korean movie The Housemaid (2010), a white version in Tron Legacy (2010), Closer (2004) and even in the animated spy comedy Archer. 

Featuring an elegant shape crafted from an array of wood veneers in two sizes, the Eames Lounge Chair is bound to become the centre-piece of any room. Now, this chair is produced using virtually the same methods from its original creation.

What do A Clockwork Orange and Barbie have in comm What do A Clockwork Orange and Barbie have in common?
A brutalist dystopia and a pink corporate dreamworld… connected by one sculptural, scene-stealing chair.

🎬 In A Clockwork Orange, the Saarinen Executive chair sits in the home of writer Mr Alexander – the very chair he’s using as Alex and his droogs arrive.
💖 In Barbie, the Saarinen Conference chair variation with a swivel base takes centre stage at Mattel HQ – so stylish that Margot Robbie took some home for her own office after filming wrapped.

Originally designed by Eero Saarinen for Knoll in the late 1940s, this chair has stood the test of time – and screen. Want one of your own?
