"Receiving an email from NBC Universal at Rockefeller Place in New York is always a welcome one. We oddly ignored it as spam for a day or two.

"2001 A Space Odyssey" was a landmark cinematic moment for us

We decided to go with a design paying homage to the monoliths that feature so heavily in 2001. The cornice pieces representing the elegant room that character Dr Dave Bowman finds himself in. This felt a fitting approach to join the Arthur C. Clarke legacy into this new mini-series adaptation of another of his books.
