Unveiled Secrets: The Set Designer Reveals Art Deco Elegance, Vibrant Color Schemes, and Exquisite Styling Techniques Worthy of Appropriation
In the latest season of the hit TV series "Hacks," the character Deborah Vance resides in a lavish home that offers sweeping views, a testament to her successful career in the entertainment industry. However, the only part of this opulent abode not filmed in Singapore was the basement, which served multiple purposes, including as a spa and a karaoke room.
The set design for this influencer house was masterfully created by set designer Bette Adams. The Eastern Building, with its distinctive band shell and arch, provided inspiration for Deborah's grand entrance. The design goal was to create a space that felt authentically high-end but pushed the boundaries to become "too much," a reflection of Deborah's rise and fall.
The many offices within the house were built or redressed with a cool blue colour story, a nod to the business side of Deborah's life. In contrast, her personal spaces were marked by pinks and lavenders, adding a touch of femininity and elegance. The home's opulent amenities, from the spa to the karaoke room, were meticulously designed to bring Deborah's world to life.
The production team prioritised Art Deco in the latest season of "Hacks," a design phenomenon that emerged 100 years ago. This style is also associated with Deborah's character, adding a layer of depth and consistency to the show. The Griffith Observatory served as inspiration for the forms and finishes of the columns in the Late Night set, further enhancing the Art Deco aesthetic.
The broader colour story in the Late Night set leaned into cool blues, creating a space that felt sophisticated and professional. The result was a set that perfectly encapsulated Deborah's world, offering viewers a glimpse into the life of a successful comedian.
Meanwhile, the design for Dance Mom's house aimed to toe the line between believable overconsumption and full-on camp, adding a touch of humour to the series. As the production designer, Rob Tokarz, explained, the goal was to create a world that felt authentic yet exaggerated, a perfect backdrop for the comedic antics of the characters.
In conclusion, the set design in "Hacks" season 4 is a testament to the show's commitment to authenticity and attention to detail. From the luxurious homes to the intricate set pieces, each element contributes to the overall narrative, providing viewers with an immersive and engaging experience.
