The Incredibles 2 was released in UK cinemas on Friday 13th July, and I was very excited to watch it! Myself and Liam took my younger cousins to see it, but I think we were the most excited! Believe me, it doesn't disappoint.  The one thing I couldn't stop noticing throughout the film was the references to Mid Century Modern architecture and interior design. The production design team of Ralph Eggleston (Production Designer), Philip Metschan (Visual Designer), Nathan Fariss (Sets Supervisor) and Bryn Imagire (Art Director) have done a wonderful job of weaving Mid Century design features into the set.
