What inspired the factory set in the second season?

I saw a photograph of a Rennie MacIntosh building from England, of an old library [with] a really interesting inside. It was very rectangular, very hard-edged, and had a great chandelier hanging in the centre.

I keyed off that photograph, created an illustration of the factory set and showed it to Joss. That�s actually what got me the job, that illustration. It was all black and white and was very dark and hard-edged. It related very much to a photograph of the Rennie MacIntosh library.
