The Barbie actress, 34, gave Architectural Digest a behind-the-scenes tour of her production company LuckyChap Entertainment's office space in Los Angeles on May 27. In the center hallway space that's used as a 'central hub' for production employees, Robbie gave a stealthy nod to her role in the billion-dollar blockbuster film.
'The chairs are actually in the Barbie movie when you're in the Mattel CEO office, and all the Mattel guys are sitting around on the pink chairs,' the three-time Oscar nominee said during the office tour.
The chairs from Mattel's headquarters were bright pink in the film that were used by Will Ferrell and his fellow 'Mattel execs' for their boardroom meetings. Following the film, Robbie worked with London-based interior designer Scarlett Hessian from Studio Hessian to transform the $3,195 Saarinen armchairs into something a little more conducive to the space.

'We just had them reupholstered, because at the end of the movie — I mean, they were quite expensive, actually — I was like, 'Wait, what's going to happen to these chairs?' '
With the chair's new rusty orange offset checkered fabric, they fit rather nicely with the mid-century modern-inspired workspace.

In Robbie's own office, she admitted that no one wanted the room as their office because of its abnormal shape, but Hessian took on the challenge.
'Scarlett obviously was a genius about utilizing a very strange shape and I love it now,' Robbie said about working with the designer.
The back wall behind the built-in desk is draped with dusty pink curtains concealing whiteboards — perhaps an additional nod to her Mattel character.
Other fun elements of Robbie's personal office include a standing lamp with tassels, a golden-base lamp that she purchased in Paris and a large plush white couch.

During the tour, Robbie mentioned that while she shares the office with husband Tom Ackerley and their fellow business partner Josey McNamara, they agreed upon not showcasing their achievements as the focal point.
'Also we were too embarrassed to put any awards anywhere else around the office,' Robbie said, letting out a laugh. 'So we kind of styled them in,'
Hessian added finishing Robbie's sentence.
'We kind of like hide them amongst the books and it's a humble brag that way, I guess,' Robbie said.
Robbie's next movie, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, opens on Sept. 19.
