So much so that I couldn’t resist kopping one of the LaCie external hard drives he designed. The black monolith, just like the one in 2001. Only mine comes with a blue light flashing below and I know all the mysteries it contains. 750Gbs of goodness that is. This particular design also won a Red Dot Award.

Mr. Poulton also pays homage to HAL 9000 with a server storage system that looks distinctly like one of film’s greatest villains in another design for LaCie. The front retains the eye, only its blue and the back side clearly resembles the memory banks like in the final scenes.
