For the ones who notice.

A great object first. A film reference second.

Sleeper Props is an independent collection of screen-connected objects that can live comfortably in an ordinary home. We look for the pleasure of recognition without the need for a display cabinet full of logos.

The Sleeper Score

Our editorial judgement of subtlety, not quality, authenticity or investment value. Higher means easier to hide in plain sight. We consider the object outside its branded packaging.

9–10 / Hiding in plain sight

Looks like an ordinary design object. Recognition needs a fan’s eye.

7–8 / A knowing detail

Fits into a room, with a recognisable shape or clue.

1–6 / Nerd Alert

The reference takes centre stage. More overt finds will have their own edit as the collection grows.

What are you actually buying?

Screen design: a commercially made design associated with the screen object. A newly purchased example was not used during filming.

Licensed replica: an authorised recreation. Materials, size and finish can differ from the original prop.

Inspired by: a related interpretation, not an exact match. We label it explicitly when featured.

Production-used: the actual object used in filming, which requires item-specific provenance. We currently list none.

How we choose

We research maker and retailer information and make our own editorial selections. This opening collection has not been hands-on tested. The individual pages identify the evidence and the buying details worth checking.
