The hot list: The silver screen



1 Je ne sais quoi

We love this original vintage Lawrence of Arabia poster, which was used to promote the film ahead of its French release in 1963. With artwork by George Kerfyser, this is an extremely rare piece (as reflected by the price), but it's an investment item that will look stunning hanging above your ­television.

2 Swinging 60s

The Marilyn cushion from Andrew Martin captures the romance of the silver screen, and was inspired by one of Hollywood’s most recognisable icons. It’s part of a wider collection of 1960s-inspired cushions, which includes the Julie and the Grace.

3 Cinematic seating

No movie experience is complete without a comfortable chair – and Flamant’s Mason chaise is about as comfortable as they come. Made of steel and leather, with a gently curved design, this is the ideal spot for ­lounging.

French company Alfagram is behind this fun “cadre photos lettres”, which sees the word “cinema” being spelt out using striking images from around the world. The frame comes in a range of sizes and each letter is printed onto high-quality archive paper.
