Desks in Space

Cover art of Zenon: the Zequel movieTaking a break from designing a flexible learning center, I decided to watch a TV sci-fi film. I was amused to find the curved desks I was looking at for the learning center were considered sufficiently hi-tech to be used in the film on a space station.

Also the coffee table in Zenon's family room on the space station seems to be from the same furniture range.

The film was made in New Zealand, and if someone could ask set decorator Kirsty Griffin, Props Buyer Christine Mangen or Art Department Coordinator Anna Graves where they got the desks, that would be useful.
