Vintage pieces bring a soulful attitude to an interior, and I’ve used many here.” The line between slick and modern and cold and off-putting can be a fine one. “One time, I was looking at vintage clothing with a coworker, and she commented that old pieces have so much soul. “I used to work in the fashion industry,” the designer recalls.

Years later when a grown-up Godbold, now a designer in the U.S., began working on a Manhattan apartment, he tapped this early interiors infatuation for inspiration. The set design, with its undulating walls, sleek plastic components and low modular furniture caused him to imagine exotic lands-specifically New York City, where he hoped to live one day. Godbold was obsessed with the program, and not just because he enjoyed dreaming about faraway galaxies. In 1976, young Timothy Godbold was watching television in his Perth, Australia, living room, but his mind was thousands of miles away on a fictional lunar station called Moonbase Alpha, the setting for the British show Space: 1999.
