COOL RETRO ROBOTS

"These one of a kind robot sculptures by Gordon Bennet are made using new and used found objects. They are inspired by Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy whose vision of the “Modern Age” helped shape industrial design of the 40′s and 50′s. All of the robots shown here have been sold, but you can often find one at City Foundry in Brooklyn."

Colour Vision

With Valentine's day only a matter of weeks away thought this quirky palette would inspire you all. An alternative use of colour for Valentine's day rather than the mainstream red and black.
