5 iconic pieces of furniture in movies and TV
Bringing a story to life onscreen requires tremendous effort behind the scenes viewers often don’t think about. The work of actors, directors, and producers is generally recognized, but creating the right tone in a movie or TV show also requires careful attention to the set design. Imagine watching “Mad Men” without the minimalist mid-century office furniture or “The Great Gatsby” without sleek art deco sofas for the characters to lounge upon. The viewing experience just wouldn’t feel the same.
The Set Decorators Society of America describes their craft as “curating the environment through objects to tell the story of the characters.” Set decorators bring scripts to life by carefully selecting items to create the perfect physical setting for the story. This task encompasses everything from furniture and lighting to art and tabletop decor. Some TV and movie set designs have become so popular with viewers they influence home decor trends, like the 1960s stylings of Netflix’s hit series “The Queen’s Gambit” or the Hampton chic of Diane Keaton’s character in “Something’s Gotta Give.”
