Paramount, 1971. Black marker on tracing paper. A large, elaborate, unused design for Wonka's Inventing Room, featuring three Willy Wonka figures throughout to establish scale. In director Mel Stuart's book on the making of the film, Willy Wonka, Pure Imagination, Stuart explains how he envisioned Wonka's Inventing Room as "a chaotic mess," like the "witch's kitchen" Roald Dahl described in his novel. However, Goff's extraordinary design depicted this "sleek, stainless steel assembly line," Stuart wrote, which he asked Goff to rework. Goff was initially annoyed by the request, but eventually gave Stuart the "chaotic" look he was after. 19 x 34 in.
