Prometheus: Kinnarps' cameo
Prometheus, Ridley Scott's long-awaited return to the world he created in Alien (1979), opens at UK box offices today - and design fans will spot Materia's Omni chair in a cameo role. Designed in 2007 by Carl Öjerstam, Omni is used in the film to furnish the ice white quarters of Meredith Vickers, played by Charlize Theron.
