David Lynch’s Red Director Chair Stops by Variety’s Office Ahead of Live Auction


Hosts for the David Lynch auction toured his director's chair around several locations in Los Angeles, ending with a stop at Variety's office.

The tour started off at the “Mulholland Drive” location Winkie’s Diner on June 12 and continued to the Mulholland Drive street sign, the area of Hollywood and La Brea (where Lynch once held a For Your Consideration protest for Laura Dern) and Bob’s Big Boy, the Toluca Lake diner where Lynch often met with stars like Dern and Kyle MacLachlan. Lynch, the filmmaker behind “Mulholland Drive,” “Blue Velvet,” “Wild at Heart” and “Twin Peaks,” died Jan. 15. “These historical and cherished pieces reflecting David Lynch’s singular artistic vision, as well as his passions and pursuits ranging from his director’s chair, espresso machine to his guitar, record collections and ‘Twin Peaks’-style decor, come directly from the home of the visionary artist whose enigmatic films stirred our most imaginative and collective surreal dreams.”
