Anton Brunberg, ‘Pallet Thief’ Chair,

Anton Brunberg calculated that there are some six billion pallets in circulation worldwide. Most are made of wood. Each year, one percent of those pallets reach the end of their lifespan or are lost.

Material: Pallet wood

Annie Atkins

This role imitates props that are needed for the film through digital means and sometimes analogue

Around 90% of what is made for film is used for the background and is hardly acknowledged by the audience. If these props and designs are only visible on screen for a mere few seconds, then why spend so much time on graphics?

‘sometimes what we create isn’t actually for the cinema audience at all, but purely for the directors and actors, to make the experience more authentic.

Atkins has love for vintage, traditional designs, old posters and tickets, stamps, handwritten typography, especially with serif font. Her work is seen in films such as ‘Isle of Dogs’, where she had hand painted a set of tiny Japanese maps and most importantly, Wes Andersons’ ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’, where she created a surreal poster with a pink wedding cake of the hotel on an alpine background. She also created and designed each paper that appears on screen, in many forms such as newspapers, letters, menus, books, shopping bags, police reports

When creating for film, you must keep in mind of the time period of the movie and the styles that would have been used within that time for accuracy. ‘if it was made by hand at the time, we should make it by hand now’.
