I was out doing site visits with our CEO today, and our property manager was showing us one presently occupied space to provide us with a visual aid of what an upcoming space could look like size wise.
The most interesting thing about this occupied space is that the company in there seemed to have been involved with the production of The Lord of the Rings. In addition to swords and posters along various walls, they had the actual throne of Orthanc right at the front door.
For those not in the know, the throne of Orthanc is where Saruman often sat while ruling over Isengard. This piece was featured in The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and I believe it was the actual throne from the set since you could clearly see the Styrofoam from where they would have removed it from a larger overall set-piece.
What they had was the throne and a part of the wall that it was attached to, and this would have been the actual seat that Christopher Lee sat in.
And that's the highlight of my day.
