Materia and Prometheus!
Materia has a celebrity on its books, since its Omni easy chair landed a cameo role in this summer’s Ridley Scott blockbuster, Prometheus.
Much of the filming was done in the UK, where Materia is distributed by Kinnarps. Marc Bird, Marketing Business Manager at Kinnarps UK, explains how Omni’s casting came about: ‘We had a call from the designers working on the Prometheus set at London’s Pinewood Studios. Set Decorator, Sonja Klaus had seen a picture of Materia’s Omni easy chair in a feature in the Evening Standard and decided its sleek silver and white styling was perfect for the futuristic vision of a particular area of the Prometheus space ship: the quarters of the character called Vickers, played by Charlize Theron. As Swedish actress Noomi Rapace (of Girl with The Dragon Tattoo fame) also stars in the film, we thought it only fair that Charlize should benefit from some Scandinavian style too!’
Described by 20th Century Fox as: “Perhaps the most elaborate set on the Prometheus”, Vickers’ quarters are more akin to a plush Fifth Avenue apartment than a cabin on an interstellar vehicle. The space is resplendent with designer furnishings both old and new, including a Fazoili piano and Swarovski chandeliers. Under the auspices of Academy Award winning production designer Arthur Max, Prometheus has critically acclaimed design credentials.
Thomas Johannesson, CEO at Materia, says it is very exciting and an honour that the Omni easy chair has been selected to be used in the world famous movie, Prometheus, which is renowned for its extensive design sets. Thomas Johannesson says that the Omni easy chair, with its modern and stylish design language is perfect for both active and inactive meetings. The concealed swivel mechanism allows you to turn around and spontaneously create different groupings. The Omni easy chair has been awarded the Red Dot Design Award.
Prometheus is directed by Sir Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Alien, Blade Runner), from a screenplay by Damon Lindelof and Jon Spaihts. The film’s stellar cast includes Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron and is now on general release.
