I just saw another preview on TV for Sex and the City 2 and was wondering if anyone has found set design pictures?  So began my search and yes I found some, yay!  We all can’t wait till it opens on May 28!   I think I’ll have to see it a few times, the first for the actual movie, then second to take a closer look at the set decor and styling.

I found these three pictures below from the lovely people at CasaSugar (check out their site, they have more pictures).

You must read Habitually Chic© blog post titled: Sex and the City 2: The Interior Design Review, Heather Clawson has done a fabulous job with photos and includes information about the actual items in the photos (well done!).

Every time I watch Gossip Girl, I drool over the set design and especially the art.  I simply had to do a little research and see what I could find.  I found the information at Apartment Therapy, of course, one of the best design resources online!   The set design is done by Christina Tonkin and she does an amazing job I must say.  According to the article, she has also done set design for Charlotte York’s Upper East Side apartment on Sex in the City.

This is my favorite piece:

Gossip Girl - Spectrum 1998 by Richard Phillips

Gossip Girl – Bass-Van der Woodsen New York apartment

I also really like the Prada Marfa Sign by Elmgreen & Dragset.

Here is another Richard Phillips piece called ‘Scout’.

Gossip Girl - Scout by Richard Phillips

As seen here in Chuck’s bedroom:

Gossip Girl - Bedroom

All of the above art can be purchased at the Art Production Fund website and at unbelievable reasonable prices… I just can’t decide which ones to purchase.
