Movie And A Room

Hello,

I have been waiting to collect the appropriate pieces for this movie and feel that I now have them. Today's movie is Out Of Africa.  I think this movie was visually stunning, I can't say the story grabbed me as much as the cinematography does. 

 



Picnics were once elegant affairs with proper table settings and even folding chairs. Here is a selection of fabulous pieces that are reminiscent of the picnic from the film.


Hermes  Pippa folding armchair. Pear wood with satin-finish varnish and natural cowhide. All the metal pieces are in brass.


Gorgeous Hermes blanket in pumice gray. 90% merino wool, 10% cashmere. Measures 53" x 65". This jacquard throw is made in Scotland and hand finished with blanket stitching.


Picnic baskets with blankets, both from Picnic World.  Flatware, dinnerware and coffee service all right at your finger tips.

Lovely set of antique faux-bamboo and leather folding chairs available at Christies' home fashion division. 

I took this scene from the film and tried to give it a more contemporary feel.




The Hennessy company pays tribute to the founder Richard Hennessy with a Cognac in his name. The Bottle is so beautiful that there is no need to use a separate decanter to display the contents.




The Cognac glasses are fun and remind me of my tipsy glasses from Crate and Barrel

Throw in some toss pillows in a animal print just for comfort.  Hides and Co. have a great selection of animal print rugs and toss cushions.

Inspired by Caravaggio - The Deposition  Johan Linton designed this recliner for Kallemo.

Side tables by Kartell.  Different sizes could be nested together to create an interesting area to sit and relax. The tables come in many colours and could easily be mixed and matched with various colours and sizes.
