DESIGN LESSONS WITH WES ANDERSON


The world of cinema doesn’t only have masters of films, acting, or cinematography; there are also masters of design. Meticulous, playful, and eccentric – filmmaker Wes Anderson has an adroit finesse in capturing a deliberate visual perspective in his works. From The Grand Budapest Hotel to The French Dispatch, Wes Anderson laces throughout his films, nuanced elements of design and visual drollery – little pearls that inform the viewer’s mood.

The three mainstays of his movies are an impeccable colour palette, an innate gift of proportions, and beautiful symmetry in each shot; not to mention, the palatable nostalgic feel.

PART NOSTALGIA. PART DOLL-HOUSE. ALL PERFECT.

Who doesn’t want to live in a Wes Anderson film? The artist’s incredibly visual approach and vivid storytelling becomes instantly desirable. As part of this month’s décor inspiration, get the look of his most iconic movies in our latest story.
