Galactic Artifact, Exoplanet-Inspired Design
Blastoid is a compact steel relic imagined from the fossil record of a distant, ancient world. Part of the Galactic Fossils collection, this object embodies the speculative remains of a civilization that once looked skyward—perhaps wondering about us, just as we wonder about them.
The form echoes prehistoric marine fossils—blastoid echinoderms, to be exact—but with a twist: it’s not from Earth. Through layered S235 steel plates and precise axial alignment, the object gains volume and presence, like a CT scan of an extinct extraterrestrial lifeform. It rests like an archaeological clue, inviting the viewer to assign meaning, function, and origin.
Whether displayed as a conversation object, symbolic fossil, or mysterious tabletop sculpture, Blastoid calls to those drawn to deep time, paleontology, and space exploration.
Material: S235 Steel
Dimensions: 13 × 8 cm
Weight: 250 g
Function: Tabletop sculpture, collectible design object
