I had the opportunity to work on the big budget action thriller film 'Argylle' (2024). The film follows espionage and conspiracies, so the film required grand sets. One of the sets was a spy headquarters; the set was completely chromatic and modern and so required bespoke furnishing. I was part of the props and set-dec team and was asked to make a template for a chair back which could be replicated as a chrome-silver vinyl.

Although the template shape looks straightforward, the template actually took many attempts as the shape of the chair back was a complex shape. I used Rhino 7 to model the chair up and obtain the the template from there.
