I’m glad someone recognised it! I wanted the capture to be the moment it emerges from the depths of space. 💯

I'm currently writing another 'The Directors of Blake's 7' essay, and enjoying referring to this rather lovely cinematic image, which might be familiar to those of a similar age to me.

I saw that listing too, but I'm fairly certain that it isn't a Luigi Colani, although it is similar to another design. The search continues...

Ignore the gold trimmings, this French 17th century Louis style triple dressing table mirror is Krantor's video device. Designer and date unknown.
