Sofa so good for Chief and Helena Bonham Carter

Chief Productions has worked with Helena Bonham Carter on Nothing Feels Like, the new 30-second spot from furniture brand Sofology.

The ad sees Bonham Carter walk through the front door into her quirky, beautifully curated home, but its entire content is upside down.

The star of Fight Club and The Crown sweeps through the house, petting her upside down dog and touching her gravity-defying chandelier, before admiring a green velvet couch – the only piece of furniture that’s the right way round. As she falls backwards onto it, the camera turns to see the room from her perspective, and we see everything back in its proper place, showing how coming home to a sofa you love “makes everything feel right.”

Chief’s latest for Sofology


The work will run across TV, video-on-demand, press, social, digital and in-store activity. The TV ad spearheads the Nothing Feels Like campaign by The Corner London. Media planning and buying was handled by Mediacom and the7stars.

Bonham Carter likened the new campaign to “something out of Alice in Wonderland,” in which she also coincidentally starred during a prolific run of appearing in 12 of her ex-husband Tim Burton’s films between 2001 and 2012, and said the idea struck her as “emotionally true”.

She added: “The world can confuse and discombobulate you but when you get home and get a chance to lie down on your sofa then suddenly everything can feel the right way up again.”
