David Lynch's Director's Chair Tours Sites Linked To Legendary Auteur
David Lynch's personalised red leather director's chair has been touring Los Angeles ahead of a major auction of memorabilia from the late auteur filmmaker's life and career.
The tour includes the Mulholland Drive sign and Winkie's Diner - both settings from Lynch's acclaimed 2001 film Mulholland Drive, as well as the corner of Hollywood and La Brea, the site of Lynch's infamous "FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION - LAURA DERN" protest celebrating the actress' performance in his 2006 film Inland Empire.
Lynch's chair also stopped off at Lynch's favourite eatery - Bob's Big Boy diner - on Father's Day. The late director frequented the 1950s-style diner daily, often joined by collaborators such as Kyle MacLachlan and Dern. Following Lynch's death earlier this year, Bob's Big Boy became an impromptu memorial site, where fans gather to pay tribute, leaving flowers and mementos in his honour.
The tour is organised by Julien's Auctions in partnership with Turner Classic Movies (TCM), will culminate in The David Lynch Collection, a live auction taking place on Wednesday 18 June 2025 at the Peninsula Beverly Hills and online at juliensauctions.com.
The director's chair, marked with Lynch's name and valued at $5,000 to $7,000 (£3,900-£5,500), is one of 450 items from his personal estate being auctioned.
It will feature personal effects from his home, including film props, musical instruments, fine art, home furnishings, woodworking tools, and paint supplies from his private art studio - a testament to Lynch's multi-faceted career as filmmaker, musician, visual artist, designer, and writer.

In an Instagram Stories post shared on July 4, Hudgens acknowledged that she was not the first to share the news of her baby's arrival, and criticized the release of the photos. "We're disappointed that our family's privacy was disrespected and exploited during this very special time due to the greed of a long lens camera feeding the media," she wrote at the time. "Despite all of that, mom dad and baby are happy and healthy." Hudgens announced her pregnancy on the red carpet at the 2024 Oscars. She proudly stepped out in a black, long-sleeved, floor-length dress that showcased her belly. The actress previously gave a glimpse of the type of parent she aspired to be while speaking to E! News, telling the outlet that she hopes to show her will watch all her projects when they're older. "I'll show my kids all my work. That's why I chose things along the way in my career.
