Design Notes
For Boeing Boeing, I leaned fully into midcentury modernism to evoke the stylish, high-stakes world of Marc Camoletti’s French farce. A sleek 1960s Paris apartment—clean geometry, rich wood, warm neutrals with bold accents—became a visual partner to the comedy.
Bernard’s entry vestibule, framed by blonde brick and anchored by a striking cobalt-blue front door, acts as a rhythmic focal point as lives spiral into farce. Above, an orange Sputnik chandelier adds period flair and heightens the visual tempo.
Furniture and décor cue a curated bachelor’s taste: a tufted leather sofa, asymmetrical coffee table, and geometric art. Six doors map the orbit of Bernard’s romantic logistics—each placed for timing and choreography essential to farce.
The world projects control and illusion: symmetry and order gradually unravel as the narrative does. Subtle clues—mismatched souvenirs, plants creeping into frame—hint at the chaos brewing beneath the polish.
Ultimately, the apartment isn’t just backdrop; it drives pace, stakes, and absurdity—glamorous yet precarious, a character in its own right.
