Designed to add an element of fun to your workspace, Robot (or its female counterpart Roboni) is a cute, wooden android that’s on a strict diet of pencil-shavings! Crafted by Taiwanese studio Carpenter, the Robot and Roboni stand at 10cm tall, and come with a rotating head and moving hands, allowing them to be positioned in many ways!
Crafted from Beechwood, Robot and Roboni come with sharpeners fitted into their jaws. Just place a pencil in from the side and rotate to sharpen! When you’re bored, just grab the antenna on the top to make them look left or right… or better still, use their LEGO-ish hands to grab your phone charging cable!
