Astronaut

L01011 2001 sphere on base

Alastair MacIntosh designer collection - Space 2001: Alastair MacIntosh has been a designer with Caithness Glass for 13 years during which time space has been a recurring theme. "The univers has always fascinated me right from childhood. I think it's a curiosity about the unknown", says Alastair. This space age collection was inspired by the film '2001 - A Space Odyssey', in which many questions are raised about mankind's origins and ultimately its destiny. The strange presence of black monoliths designed to trigger ape-man's intellect and monitor man's progress suggests that nothing is accidental!

Gazing upon the blue planet the astronaut contemplates the gravity of his situation.
