While not as iconic as those on Mad Men, we've been taking note of the interiors of AMC's new show, Rubicon. The spaces are almost oppressively dark and masculine, but there's something we can't help but find appealing about the stuffy men's club aesthetic.
From Will Travers' slightly scruffy studio to the file-filled offices of API where conspiracies are unravelled to the inner sanctums of the elite power players, the show paints a man's world that is inscrutable and seemingly indestructible. Here is a roundup of a few classic pieces, inspired by the puzzling world of Rubicon.

Currently my favorite show on TV. Great post!
Love, love, love this show and yes, there are pieces to love in their set design.
Where can I get him? That's what I would really like to add to my apartment.
It's a really good show, I hope it makes it another season. I have a feeling it is too dry and over the general publics head. I think I know where they are going with this though.
I hope this show lasts too. Even so, I hope they do seasonal story arcs (just in case, but also for some payoff to viewers).
I still want to know how he got the bike into the apartment.
