Mid-century design and mathematics intertwine to create these foldable bronze stars. Inspired by the work of Buckminster Fuller, physicist John Kostick created his now iconic sculptures as a way to psychically express his fascination with modern geometry. A timeless reminder of the beauty to be found in the intersection between art and science. Hand assembled in Maryland.
I hung it in my living room and the way the light catches the bronze facets changes throughout the day. The mid-century geometry feels both modern and timeless, and it folds flat for storage if needed.
The foldable bronze star has been sitting on my windowsill for a week and I keep catching myself spinning it when the light hits. It's heavier than it looks and the joints move smoothly without feeling loose. Wasn't sure about spending this much on a decoration, but it earns its spot.
Picked this up as a desk gift for my brother and ended up keeping it. The bronze stars fold and unfold smoothly, and I catch myself fiddling with it during calls.
