HISTORY: Uncovering 221B Baker Street.

With Emmy nominations only a few weeks old, this article in the Smithsonian immediately was linked in our brains with the immensely popular and nominated Sherlock. This contemporary interpretation of Sir Arthur Connan Doyle's detective stories, finds that the Victorian excess of previous productions has been swapped for a smattering of antiques and mid-century modern furniture. Witty embellishments, such as the earphone wearing bison and the kitchen which doubles as a laboratory, nod to Sherlock's idiosyncrasies. Check out this tour of the set with the production designer:


It is interesting to note how television and film influence design and how design influences television and film. Season 3 of Sherlock will air on PBS's Masterpiece Mystery some time in 2013.

Note: If you are also a fan of Masterpiece's Downton Abbey, check out this article from Architectural Digest.
