London - Brad Pitt is launching his own line of luxury furniture.
The Killing Them Softly actor - who is known for his keen interest in architecture and design - has teamed up with furniture maker Frank Pollaro to create a simple collection of well-structured furnishings.
The father of six - who is engaged to actress Angelina Jolie - told Architectural Digest he spent a long time perfecting his designs because he is “bent on quality to an unhealthy degree”, but modestly dismissed suggestions he is now a bona fide furniture designer, saying: “Let's not get ahead of ourselves.”
The 48-year-old will unveil his new collaboration, which includes a dining table, a cocktail table, a variety of side tables, club chairs and a romantic marble bathtub designed to be shared by two people, in New York next week.
The magazine reveals that the actor's designs “incorporate the idea of a single line” and “that line can be geometric, as in the case of a 17-foot-long wood dining table” or “sinuous, as with a glass-top side table that features a wispy spiralling metal base finished in gold.”
The actor also opened up on his love of architecture and revealed he has been designing things since his college years.
He said: “I've been doodling ideas for buildings and furniture since the early 1990s, when I first discovered Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright. Actually, I found Wright in college, when looking for a lazy two-point credit to get out of French. It forever changed my life.” - Bang Showbiz
