"The chairs are actually in theBarbiemovie 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 byWill Ferrelland his fellow "Mattel execs" for their boardroom meetings.

"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. Warner Bros.

"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. Jaap Buitendijk/Warner Bros.

"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.
