And here is the Gerald McCabe sofa Pierre Koenig specified for the house. This is the one Koenig had McCabe produce in 1998, when Pierre was restoring the house. The original was damaged at some point.

It is now part of the massive inventory at Modernica Props.

The 65,000 square ft. prop house is located in the former Dolly Madison Bakery in Silverlake. As you can see, it's stacked high.

There are some gems.

It's made of Douglas fir. The usual maple frame is on the right. The Douglas fir was used during WWII when materials were being rationed for the war effort. Pretty rare.

Interesting cord chair.

Jimmy Hoffa's chair. It's true!

Working on that new disco movie?
