How 'Severance' perfected its creepy, beautiful visual language
CNN
"Severance" is one of the most exciting and visually striking series of 2022, earning it 14 Emmy nominations. CNN spoke to its production designer and set decorator about how they created its beautiful but deeply unsettling world.
The boardroom where she's "birthed" into life as an innie at Lumon, the mysterious corporation at the center of "Severance," is also a womb of sorts. And when she leaves it, she'll be confined only to the contained, labyrinthine world of the Lumon building, which doubles as a mid-century prison.
Jeremy Hindle, "Severance's" Emmy-nominated production designer, took the "birthing" metaphor and ran with it, creating a world within a world at Lumon. It's a spare, meticulously designed environment that, at first blush, is impressive and aesthetically pleasing. But the longer you spend within Lumon, the more menacing it becomes.
