Can you imagine James Bond sinking into a Barkalounger? No, no, no. But the Barcelona Chair screams sexy, debonair, model-magnet spy that is Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig all rolled into one.  Designed by Ludwig Miles van der Rohe, the Barcelona Chair graces the screen and adds mystery, drama and sex appeal to a few of the Bond suspense films.  

Designed in 1929 for the International Exposition in Barcelona, the timeless design made the Barcelona Lounger a perfect choice for futuristic thriller Tron: Legacy, set in 2010.  The sleek silhouettes and luxurious stark white leather bring order to the dystopian digital classic. 

Raise your hand if you had a Knoll classic Womb Chair in your dorm room. Yeah, most of us would fail the Elle Woods school of school décor, but what better piece of furniture in film to capture her girl power of positivity and inspiration? Legally Blonde is just one of many movies highlighting the iconic Eero Saarinen-designed Womb Chair, inspired by Florence Knoll.     

 
In the 2003 film, Down with Love, Renee Zellweger transforms from meek to chic to capture the heart of Ewan McGregor, her 1960s man about town. Her Manhattan apartment has it's own coming of age, with a delicate pink Womb Chair as the focal point for her newfound femininity in space.   

 
Even in black and white, the Womb Chair is a stunner. In the 1953 comedy The Moon Is Blue, Maggie McNamara finds comfort in the cocoon-like curvature of the mid-century iconic chair as she navigates the advances of the eras most charming leading men, William Holden and David Niven. 

Harry Bertoia's wire chairs are among the most recognized achievements of mid-century modern design, so it's no surprise they are a prevalent furniture piece in many dramas and love stories. Look no further than Miranda Priestley's Runway magazine office In The Devil Wears Prada. The Bertoia Diamond Chair, with its woven industrial metal and bold red upholstery, steals every ounce of seating thunder in the room and perfectly embodies the strength and sophistication of Meryl Streep's character in the fluid world of fashion.

 
In stark contrast, the Bertoia Collection of chairs can also play a subtle role.  Take one scene in The Lake House, where a sea of unupholstered white Bertoia side chairs surround star-and-time-crossed lovers played by Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. The simplicity of the style gets to the rawness of the scene,  helping expose the vulnerability of their characters. Thats the beauty of the Bertoia Collection. It is versatile enough to take center stage or play a supporting role in design.
