Margot Robbie Retains Reupholstered Chairs from Barbie Set in Los Angeles

Margot Robbie has given fans a tour of the Los Angeles headquarters of her production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, revealing that she kept several pink Saarinen armchairs from the Barbie movie set for the office. These chairs, originally featured in the Mattel CEO office scenes with Will Ferrell and others, were reupholstered in a rusty orange and white checkered fabric by London-based designer Scarlett Hessian to match the mid-century modern aesthetic of the workspace. Robbie expressed concern about the fate of the expensive chairs after filming ended, leading to their preservation and incorporation into the office's central hub area. LuckyChap Entertainment, co-founded by Robbie, her husband Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara, has a mission to produce films with strong female leads and has been behind critically acclaimed projects like "I, Tonya" and "Promising Young Woman." Despite Barbie's massive box office success and multiple Oscar nominations, Robbie was notably not nominated for Best Actress, though she and director Greta Gerwig won the inaugural Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award at the 2024 Golden Globes. The Barbie film, directed by Greta Gerwig, has been a landmark success, grossing billions worldwide and marking a milestone for female filmmakers.
