*Production Design’s proposal to make a re-make of the beginning of the movie Inception directed by Christopher Nolan.

The waiting room sofa is abstracted from the totem of the main character, Cobb. 

This shelf was inspired by the Fibonacci sequence as the director uses concepts of mathematics and physics in his films. How it works is that the division of the shelves follows this mathematical pattern: 

1 +1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8 + 13 + 21...

This mural is abstracted with the song they listen to when they are about to wake up from their dreams. 

Song: No regrets, Edith Piaf

It is proposed that Cobb (the main character) enters the Lobby and tells the receptionist that Arthur is waiting for him inside the clinic, the receptionist would know that he is coming to get the serum to enter deep sleep. The nurse tells him that he has to wait in the waiting room for Arthur to finish getting the serum ready. 

When Cobb enters the waiting room, he is walking around the place very anxious because deep within him, he know what is about to happen he doesn´t know how or when but he has a clear feeling about what is about to go down with his team. 

Before entering the clinic, he goes into this Zen Garden that instantly brings him peace, this is because the song they listen to when they are about to wake up is represented in the distribution of the garden and in the mural to his left. In a sense, this is telling him that everything is going out as planned.

    As he finally steps into the clinic, he is no longer anxious and worried about what they are about to do, he feels calm and ready as he seats down the chair and Arthur had already the serum ready to put him to sleep. As he starts to fall asleep, he looks up to the sky and he lets himself emerge into the ray of sunlight softly touching his face.
