Peter Curtis Lamont (12 November 1929 – 18 December 2020[1][2]) was a British set decorator, art director, and production designer most noted for working on eighteen James Bond films, from Goldfinger (1964) to Casino Royale (2006). The only Bond film that he did not work on during that period was Tomorrow Never Dies (1997). He also worked extensively as a set dresser on the Carry On series in the 1960s.

Throughout his near 60-year career, Lamont was nominated for three Academy Awards for his work on Fiddler on the Roof (1971), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), and Aliens (1986).[3] He was nominated a fourth time and won for Titanic (1997).
