Friends production designer John Shaffner has revealed why Monica’s apartment walls were purple on the series.
Aside from its colour, Monica’s apartment on Friends has remained an iconic place in TV history for being an enormous, rent-controlled two bedroom apartment over 20 years later.
According to an interview with Great Big Story, Shaffner revealed why he landed on purple as the backdrop for the group’s home base.
“One of the responsibilities of a production designer is to look into the future, if you can,” Shaffner explained.
