The “Ball” design of these objects was adapted into the “Bubble”, which is made of transparent material and suspended from a ceiling. Frank Gehry used corrugated cardboard to create his “Wiggle” type of these objects. Star Trek’s production designers adapted the design of Eero Saarinen’s (*) “Tulip” type of these objects.
