Robert Pattinson's Batman has yet to showcase the Batboat in his thrilling escapades. However, the accomplished British actor revealed that in the past, he relied on a versatile inflatable boat which served as his sleeping quarters, seating arrangement, and dining space for a consecutive six months. Pattinson shared this intriguing detail with Architectural Digest during a recent interview, released on Wednesday.
"I adored it immensely, though it resulted in numerous back issues."
Renowned for his performances in "The Lighthouse," "Twilight," and his upcoming portrayal of "The Batman," Pattinson has ventured into the world of furniture design. Partnering with designer Nicole Gordon, he has brought his vision of the ideal couch to life.
The sofa, with its two rounded arms protruding like massive earlobes, is draped in a luxurious white linen velvet fabric. Its base, made of pink onyx, perfectly complements the drink trays located on the arms. This unique design was born from Pattinson's sketches of furniture intended to promote playful and informal social interaction, as he shared with Architectural Digest.

He stated that all of them had delightfully exaggerated, oversized features. Furthermore, during the clay modeling stage, he discovered that incorporating organic, intersecting curves produced a comparable impact. Collaborating with designer architect Andrea Cadioli and upholsterer Claudia Bracamontes, he and Gordon transformed those initial concepts into a full-fledged design. The resulting sofa can currently be seen at the JF Chen antique store and showroom.
Pattinson previously delved into the art realm when he curated six artworks for a Sothebys auction in New York last September. The selection included notable pieces such as Willem de Kooning's 1964 painting, Richard Serra's 2011 painting titled Rotation #9, and an untitled drawing from 2005 by Julie Mehretu.
