Skk Lighting 1960s-style robot lamp

 

Robotlamp
You know how we love a good robot on this site and somehow the stockpile of designs never seems to be exhausted. Latest in (and a new favourite) is this retro-style Robot lamp made by Skk Lighting.

Skk Lighting, the brand of lighting consultant Shiu-Kay Kan, does a good line in fun products – lights in the shape of everything from skulls to dinosaurs – but the inspiration for this little creature came from a 1960s tin Japanese toy robot. The shape has been replicated from plastic and, when the bulb is on, gives a glow perfect for a spot of night reading.

A great little piece of design, the lamp sells for £59.
