Foreign Bodies is a collection of furniture and lighting created by Collin Townsend Velkoff. It is inspired by space exploration and the eventual cultivation of the celestial bodies in space. It explores the phases of this expanse and how new and foreign material could influence aesthetic.

Space exploration and cultivation and the relationship between humanity and material.

Foreign Bodies is a collection inspired by the satellites, orbiters, and rovers sent into space to analyze the material composition of extraterrestrial bodies. How we understand and use these foreign materials will help expand our presence within our solar system and eventually the universe. The process of space exploration exemplifies our dependence on materials as a species and how much influence they have over our consciousness. This light is the second piece in the second collection of objects within 'Foreign Bodies'. Inspired by space exploration and the influence extra- terrestrial materials will have upon humanity during our inevitable expanse in the solar system.
