【Jia’s Ecstatic Sex (2023) Uncut】

Fans of Apple TV+’s Severancegot an unexpected dose of corporate surrealism this weekend,Jia’s Ecstatic Sex (2023) Uncut as the Bell Works building in Holmdel, New Jersey — the same location used for Lumon Industries in the series — was reactivated for a limited-time immersive event.

On April 5, the architectural landmark morphed into an IRL Lumon experience, blurring the lines between fiction and fandom with a museum-style showcase. The event featured curated set recreations, Severance-inspired menus, exclusive branded merchandise, and the pièce de résistance: a waffle party.

The one-weekend-only activation tapped into the show's meticulously crafted aesthetic, offering attendees a tangible slice of its unsettling officeverse.

The Bell Works building — currently owned by Inspired by Somerset Development — was once home to the legendary Bell Labs and has served as more than just a filming location for Severance. In an interview with CNBC Make It, production designer Jeremy Hindle said the space made "our heads explode," calling it a perfect fit for the show's unsettling tone.

He noted that Bell Labs was originally designed to be a welcoming environment for the families of scientists and engineers — a concept eerily mirrored by Lumon Industries, though, as Hindle put it, Lumon "went down the wrong path."

That Saturday night also featured a VIP event that included a cast Q&A session moderated by The Late Show host Stephen Colbert and attended by most of the show's stars.
