is most often a colorful, mass-produced, plastic-based, emotionally engaging consumer product with a curvilinear, flowing shape. This fluid and curvaceous form is the blobject's most distinctive feature. The word is a contraction or portmanteau of "blobby" and "object" coined by design critic and educator Steven Skov Holt in the early 1990s. Author and design journalist Phil Patton attributed the word to Holt in 1993 in Esquire magazine.
