I pulled blueprints of the set and got behind-the-scenes photos from crew members from the show that I referenced. But also it involved watching the show itself and figuring out what jokes from the show I wanted to reference in Lego form.”Lewis worked on his model for nearly 9 years, but designers Laura and Chris Perron created the final version. “This project let me combine three things I love: my husband (Chris), ‘The Office’ and Lego bricks!” Laura told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m really happy with how the reception desk turned out — its curve is very iconic, and we wanted to get it just right.”“Jaijai did a great job refining the scope and scale of the model, and we created the final layout and structure to capture as many iconic angles as possible,” Chris said.
