Inspired by “the retro designs of old bowling alleys, diners and tine toys from the 30’s through the 60’s” artist Toby Fraley has designed a line of whimsical robot lamps that are sure to delight and confuse all who gaze upon them. Each design is handmade out of mostly recycled parts so don’t be shocked when you see the price (you are paying a hefty “art” premium). Other designs in the series are pictured after the break.

Hey Sean! I’m Joanna from UncommonGoods and just wanted to say thanks for the post. These robot lamps are a new item for us and it’s great to see we’re getting positive feedback already. If you are looking for other futuristic pieces, we also carry robot clocks that are handmade by Mark Brown.
