Susie Mancini received one basic instruction from “Space Force” co-creator Greg Daniels when she was hired to design the sets for the Netflix comedy, which debuts May 29: “Re-create reality with a …
The series, based on the new branch of the U.S. military established at the request of President Trump, revolves around Gen. Mark R. Naird , who uproots his family and moves to a secret military base in Colorado where he must lead the service arm that protects America by “waging space warfare.”For the “reality” part of her mandate, Mancini borrowed designs from NASA and SpaceX; for the “enhancement” part, she channeled brutalist architecture with a touch of Stanley Kubrick.
Another influence, “Dr. Strangelove,” Stanley Kubrick’s satire on an out-of-control military, seemed unavoidable . Around the Space Force base are echoes of production designer Ken Adam’s concrete bunkers in “Strangelove.” And the war room pays homage to his famous roundtable design.To build the environment of mission control, Mancini consulted with contacts at both NASA and the Army, and took a trip to the Hawthorne, Calif., headquarters of Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
Daniels wanted the sets to feel authentic to the character, so Mancini worked with set decorator Rachael Ferrara to re-create that vibe. For Naird’s office, they aimed to serve up the image of a simple man with a lifetime in the military. Around the conference table, Mancini says, “were these very cheap old-school chairs to which we added the Air Force logo.” They also fashioned a display that suggested Naird’s life.
