We receive all sorts of wonderful emails from film We receive all sorts of wonderful emails from film fans and design lovers around the world, and recently we were delighted to help one of our clients save £305 on a brand new Alanda coffee table.

Designed by Paolo Piva in the early 1980s for B&B Italia, the Alanda is one of those rare designs that looks every bit as fresh today as it did over 40 years ago. Its geometric steel frame and floating glass top have made it a favourite with architects, collectors and filmmakers alike.

Film fans may recognise it from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League and American Psycho, where its clean architectural lines fit perfectly into Bruce Wayne's modernist lakeside home (influenced by Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House) and Patrick Bateman's meticulously curated apartment.

One of the advantages of being immersed in the worlds of furniture and film every day is that we've built up an extensive network of trusted manufacturers, retailers, dealers and vintage specialists. Whether you're looking for a brand new piece, a rare vintage original or simply the best price available, there's a good chance we can help.

In this case, we saved our client £305 on the retail price of a brand new Alanda coffee table.

If you're considering an Alanda, or another piece you've spotted on screen, drop us an email we'll see what we can do (contact details in bio).

🎬 Film and Furniture's picks from Bonhams' Sound & 🎬 Film and Furniture's picks from Bonhams' Sound & Cinema Auction 🎬

Following the recent passing of Terence Stamp, Bonhams' forthcoming Sound & Cinema auction includes pieces from the acclaimed actor's personal collection, offering a rare glimpse into his distinctive taste in art, design and interiors.

From a handwoven rug with a remarkable Hollywood backstory to vintage film posters and furniture with real character, there's plenty to tempt lovers of cinema and design in the upcoming sale.

Among our favourites is Terence Stamp's large geometric floor rug, handwoven by actress Silvana Mangano in the 1970s or 1980s and accompanied by Polaroids showing Mangano lying on the rug while it was still on the loom. It is offered alongside a collection of cushions and an Hermès blanket from Stamp's collection.

We're also drawn to a beautifully sculptural Chinese hardwood "Moongazing" recliner chair dating from the late Qing Dynasty.

Film enthusiasts can also bid on a British souvenir programme for Metropolis, a striking US one sheet poster for Rear Window, an original French poster for Mon Oncle, sixteen cut-glass white wine glasses from Downton Abbey, and a signed archival print of Terence Stamp and Jean Shrimpton by photographer Terry O'Neill.

The auction begins closing from 25 June 2026. If you're after a piece with a story to tell, this catalogue is well worth a look.

Which lot would you be taking home?

Carol's beautifully considered Santa Fe-inspired h Carol's beautifully considered Santa Fe-inspired home in Pluribus caught our eye, with its plaster walls, arched doorways, woven lighting, handcrafted tiles and cane dining chairs, to frozen ice hotels, hospitals, bespoke aircraft interiors and an entire neighbourhood built from scratch. It's packed with remarkable production design and interiors inspiration.

For us, though, the undisputed star is Carol's house. Inspired by contemporary Southwestern architecture, it combines warm stucco walls, black steel-framed glazing, artisan tilework, woven pendants, cane dining chairs and layered natural textures to create a home that feels sophisticated without trying too hard. Every detail was carefully considered, from the custom finishes and bespoke furnishings to the artwork and colour palette, all chosen to reflect Carol's personality and way of life.

The house didn't simply occupy an existing street either. Denise Pizzini and her team selected an empty mesa overlooking Albuquerque, built roads into the site and constructed an entire custom neighbourhood around it, positioning each home to make the most of the spectacular New Mexico views while giving every property its own distinct identity.

As the Set Decorators Society of America announces its Television Awards nominations for 2025-2026, we're taking a look at one of the year's most ambitious achievements in television décor and design. The nomination for Best Achievement in Décor/Design of a One Hour Contemporary Series recognises Set Decorator Ashley Michelle Marsh SDSA alongside Production Designer Denise Pizzini.

Whether you're admiring the handcrafted interiors, the extraordinary ice hotel or simply making notes for your own home, Pluribus offers plenty for furniture and design lovers to pause and appreciate.

From Margo's delightfully mismatched apartment, an From Margo's delightfully mismatched apartment, anchored by its vibrant pinkish-mauve velvet rolled-arm tuxedo sofa with deep tufting, to the neon-soaked fantasy worlds she creates online as "Hungry Ghost", Margo's Got Money Troubles proves that personality beats perfection.

Margo's "collegiate thrift store" home, features mismatched rugs, quirky ornaments, fake ferns, vintage finds and budget furniture. The gloriously oversized pink sofa steals the show, bringing a burst of maximalist glamour to an otherwise cash-strapped apartment. As Margo's online alter ego grows in confidence, the sets explode into colourful DIY creations filled with cyberpunk lighting and homemade props, mirroring the changing direction of her life.

As the Set Decorators Society of America announces its Television Awards nominations for 2025-2026, we're taking a look at one of the year's freshest and most inventive approaches to contemporary interiors.

Margo's Got Money Troubles' nomination for Best Achievement in Décor/Design of a One Hour Contemporary Series recognises Set Decorator Linette McCown SDSA alongside Production Designer Richard Bloom, whose team crafted spaces that feel authentic while embracing the show's offbeat humour.

For anyone who believes a room should tell a story rather than follow a trend, there's plenty here to enjoy.

From Cassie and Nate's sprawling, chintz-soaked su From Cassie and Nate's sprawling, chintz-soaked suburban mansion to Lexi's apartment, Jules and Maddy's artist studio and the dusty landscapes of the Mexico border, Euphoria Season 3 proves that every setting deserves attention.

As the Set Decorators Society of America announces its Television Awards nominations for 2025-2026, we're taking a look at some of the unforgettable interiors and locations that make the series such a feast for design lovers.

The nomination for Best Achievement in Décor/Design of a One Hour Contemporary Series recognises Set Decorator Anthony Carlino SDSA alongside Production Designer François Audouy, whose team has given the latest season a striking visual identity - a bigger, bolder Southern California, packed with oversized houses, retro styling, saturated colours and environments that feel glamorous one minute and plain weird the next. Cassie and Nate's over-the-top "instant mansion" alone is enough to keep us furniture fans with our finger on the pause button.

Whether you're here for the layered interiors, the vintage influences or simply looking for your next décor obsession, Euphoria continues to reward anyone who pays attention to the background.

Before Toy Story 5 arrives, we’re taking a closer Before Toy Story 5 arrives, we’re taking a closer look at the interiors that have helped shape Pixar’s beloved franchise for the past 30 years.

From Andy’s cloud-covered bedroom and Sid’s unsettling nod to David Hicks’ Hexagon carpet from The Shining, to the Luxo lamp, the Norman Cherner chair in Al McWhiggin’s apartment and the treasure trove that is Second Chance Antiques, furniture and décor have always played a starring role in the storytelling.

Now, in a “Toy meets Tech” future, Bonnie’s home becomes the backdrop for a new battle between tactile play and the digital world.

Our latest feature explores what the trailer reveals, why the design details matter and how the evolving interiors of the Toy Story films mirror the changing experience of childhood.
