Friendly Robots (made from upcycled junk!)

Turning rubbish into something remarkable takes more than skill, it needs vision, patience and a real belief that beauty can be found just about anywhere. Every thrown-away object can suddenly become part of something bold and uplifting.

We love ThinkUp Upcycled Stuff! This fun indie brand was created by a couple in Italy, who upcycle junk into truly original and fun creations. Showing that using up trash can be a great source of creativity, as well as being good for the planet.

Keep away from small children & pets. A few items contain batteries, so locate your nearest recycling points (they are choking hazards).

If buying vases, read of toxic plants to avoid near pets. Also don’t display facing outdoor gardens, to help stop birds flying into windows.

Some of these items are electrical, but include cables to CE standards. Made in Italy, so check for any instructions needed for different voltages and plugs. But really this post is for show – how talented are this couple?

Poetry, romance, design and technology. All together, and respecting the environment. Stefano & Lucia

Look what two people can create with various recovered metals, old iron pipes and upcycled biscuit tins. Is it wrong to start to fall in love with a few robots, made from recycled metal?
