Tiger Tanaka's Office

Synopsis Ken Adam

"[Christopher Frayling:] But you designed most of the Japanese interiors that were shot in England. The sliding doors, Tiger Tanaka's office...

[Ken Adam:] Yes, I love Tanaka's office. Today you would call it a minimalist set. It somehow flowed right. I came up with these two copper bowls for television sets and an aluminium chute that Sean slides down into a chair. [...]

[Christopher Frayling:] Characteristically, there isn't much colour in Tanaka's office.

[Ken Adam:] [...] Tanaka's office was treated as reinforced concrete with leather furniture and television monitors in copper: a most colourful setting without really using colour at all."
