One-Of-A-Kind Found Object Robots at Anthropologie

Have you seen these adorable robots at Anthropologie? Handmade in the USA by artist Amy Flynn, these found object robots (or "fobots") were created from repurposed bits and pieces, like an engine oiler, a funnel, and hydraulic fittings.

 
 

We love them, and would love to have them sitting on our shelf. Unfortunately, as is usually the case with Anthropologie, they're a bit expensive. Ranging in price from $228-$428, these One-Of-A-Kind Fobots aren't cheap, so we don't think we'll be buying one anytime soon. However, love the concept and look. They're like Wall-E's cousins!

For more about these found object robots, visit their site, or visit Anthropologie.

Jessica at Honeybee Boutique makes found object bots that are adorable and much more affordable. Here are a couple of examples.....
