I love the design of the telepod in the movie because it resembles the pupa of a housefly, which inspired me to take the shape of a butterfly pupa and ‘geometrifly’ it. I decided to leave some parts exposed or less cover up, to convey the idea that it is still an experimental unit, also to emphasis practicality rather than aesthetic. The extra cables linking different devices on the surface help to sell this idea. They were arranged to resemble vein pattern that can be seen on some pupa.
