These striking photographic prints, taken from the acclaimed book Seeds – Time Capsules of Life, reveal the extraordinary diversity and design of seeds: each one a tiny masterpiece of form and function.

Created by artist Rob Kesseler and seed morphologist Wolfgang Stuppy, formerly Seed Morphologist at the Millennium Seed Bank, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, these images use high-magnification microscopy to uncover patterns and textures invisible to the naked eye. The result is a mesmerising fusion of art and science – where the everyday becomes extraordinary.

Pictured: Acacia cyclops (Fabaceae) – coastal wattle; native to south-western Australia – seed surrounded by a brightly orange-coloured aril formed the funiculus put in double, encircling the seed twice. Length of seed (including aril): 9mm. 

Printed on premium giclée fine art paper, each image is produced with rich, lasting colour and exceptional detail. Available in three sizes, they make perfect statement pieces for interiors — from living rooms and studios to schools, offices, or science and nature spaces.
