Died: December 18, 2020 PETER Lamont, who has died aged 91, was the man who gave the James Bond film franchise its visual heart. He worked on 18 Bond films, first as set decorator, then art director, and, from For Your Eyes Only (1981) onwards, production designer. Taking over from Ken Adam, whom he first met after being hired as an uncredited draughtsman on the third Bond, Goldfinger (1964), this put Lamont in charge of each film’s overall visual aesthetic. He continued in this role right up to the 21st film, Casino Royale (2006). Lamont worked with every 007 actor from Sean Connery through to Daniel Craig, and became a key member of the series’ ‘family’. With 42 years almost uninterrupted service to Bond, he also worked on it the longest.
