> That said it is a living demo that can help make an idea feel more real. It is also enormously fun. Think of it as a delightful movie set.

[pedantry] It bothers me that the photo for "think of prototype PRs as movie sets" is clearly not a movie set but rather the set of the TV show Seinfeld. Anyone who watched the show would immediately recognize Jerry's apartment.

Its not the set of the TV show I beliefe, but a recreation.

It’s this Sony Picture Studios recreation actually:

I'm not sure what you mean. Those two photos are very different. The floors are entirely different, the tables are entirely different, one of the chairs/couches is different, even the intercom and light switch are different.

In any case, though, neither one is a movie set.

I think we agree, it looks like the seinfeld set, but it not the orginal set, just something looking very similar.
