Brad Pitt Debuts Furniture Collection
via glooce
The actor-design buff partners with Frank Pollaro on some dozen pieces to be unveiled Nov. 13.
Brad Pitt has long harbored an affinity for architecture and design. Now the actor-activist-father of six can count himself as a designer with the launch of his new furniture collection next week.
Pitt collaborated on some dozen pieces -- including tables, chairs and a bed with a tropical-hardwood frame that took two years to make -- with Frank Pollaro, a furniture maker based in New Jersey who specializes in Art Deco style. The collaboration will be revealed Nov. 13 through Nov. 15 in New York, according to Architectural Digest, which posted a photo of the two working together at the shaggy-maned star's French chateau.
The customizable designs will be available "in numbered editions or limited production and signed by Pitt and Pollaro. Though Pollaro declines to discuss specific figures, he notes that his prices are 'typically at the highest end of the custom-furnishings scale, and these will be up there, even north of that,'" the magazine reports.
"I've been doodling ideas for buildings and furniture since the early 1990s, when I first discovered [Charles Rennie] Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright," Pitt says. "Actually, I found Wright in college, when looking for a lazy two-point credit to get out of French. It forever changed my life."
A collector of modern and contemporary furniture, Pitt regularly works alongside architects for his Make It Right Foundation to rebuild homes in New Orleans' Lower Night Ward.
Several years ago, Pollaro took notice of Pitt's sketches while installing a desk commissioned by the actor. "I asked him, 'Why don’t we make some of this stuff real?' Brad said he thought that could be fun," he recalls.
The pair have established a fine rapport. In his interview with Architectural Digest, Pitt confesses he's "bent on quality to an unhealthy degree" and praises Pollaro as embodying "the same mad spirit of the craftsmen of yore, with their obsessive attention to detail. It just so happens Frank and I speak the same language. And we both have a predilection for far too much wine."
Besides furniture-creating, Pitt is spinning multiple plates of late. He's the spokes-celebrity for Chanel No. 5 (see: Saturday Night Live's highly amusing parody) and, last week, he donated $100K to support the Human Rights Campaign's marriage equality efforts. As for acting (multi-tasker! over-achiever!), his latest film, Andrew Dominik’s Killing Them Softly, premieres Nov. 30.

13 Celebs Hanging Out With Their Stunt And/Or Body Doubles
VIA GLOOCE
I am kind of obsessed with Brad Pitt's longtime stunt double -- but I can't figure out his name! Here they are looking concerned on the set of Ridley Scott's "The Counselor," and despite this photo being posted far and wide on the internet, no one bothers to name the dude who risks his life so that Brad doesn't damage his pretty face. Can we please give this guy some recognition? Unmask Brad's Double, please!
It's clear from this image of Angelina hanging with her body double on the set of "Salt," that doubles don't have to really look exactly like the person they're standing in for, so much as have a similar heigh and weight.
Hell, body doubles don't even need to be the same gender. Just look at Jennifer Lopez's manly double on the set of her video for the song "Follow the Leader"!
Alicia Vela-Bailey has been a stunt double for a whole mess of Hollywood stars, including Charlize Theron, Kate Beckinsale, and Rosie Huntington Whiteley.
Vela-Bailey also has smooth moves on the dance floor -- she did many of Nicole Kidman's dance moves in the movie "Just Go With It."
January and her stunt double both got to feel ridiculous in these all-white outfits on the set of "X-Men: First Class."
Thurman chills with her badass stunt double, Zoe Bell, on the set of "Kill Bill." You mean Uma didn't slaughter all the Bride's enemies on her own?
Rob Pattinson looks just thrilled to be standing with his body double, doesn't he? Maybe he doesn't like sharing that glittery vampire makeup... [omg at rob's brows in this photo]
But "Harry Potter" star Rupert Grint looks pretty chummy with his stunt double. Mmm, two gingers are always better than one.
You mean Tom Cruise doesn't do all his own stunts?! But he's OTVII! He can move objects with his mind -- stunts should be no problem.
Something tells me Will Smith's body double doesn't get nearly as pimped out a trailer.
The "Glee" star's double looks post-college aged rather than in high school.
Now that Anna's pregnant, I bet her stunt double is getting even bloodier on the set of "True Blood."
