Murder on the Orient Express – Timeless Elegance in Lighting
Murder on the Orient Express is a film known for its impeccable visual style and classic Art Deco elegance. At John Moncrieff, we were honoured to contribute to the production by supplying bespoke glass lighting that complemented the film’s refined 1930s setting.
Lighting That Enhances a Classic Mystery
Our glass shades were selected to enhance the film’s luxurious train interiors, rich with dark woods, polished metals, and soft ambient lighting. Each piece was crafted to provide warmth, drama, and authenticity—key ingredients in creating the atmosphere of a stylish, suspense-filled journey.
What We Supplied
- Art Deco Glass Shades: Featuring period-accurate designs with frosted and ribbed finishes to match the opulence of the train’s private cabins and dining areas.
- Custom-Made Lighting: Produced to the specifications of the set design team to ensure each fixture enhanced the film's aesthetic and worked with the camera lighting setup.
- Studio-Ready Durability: All pieces were delivered set-ready, with the durability and detail needed for high-resolution close-up filming.
