Film and Furniture, an online resource to buy the furniture and décor seen in the movies and read behind-the-scenes features has relaunched with a new, curated marketplace.

Visitors to the site, filmandfurniture.com, can find, for example, seating from Christian Grey’s luxury apartment in the “Fifty Shades” series or the table from Bruce Wayne’s lakeside house in “Batman vs. Superman.”
