The Attenborough Design Group consists of James Chambers and Tom Judd, and they've created some pretty funny and inventive devices that avoid potentially damaging circumstances. The line of products were actually designed by mimicking the reactions of animals.
Attenborough Design Group has created three devices: the Gesundheit Radio, Floppy Legs and AntiTouch Lamp. The Gesundheit Radio sneezes to omit damaging dust from settling, while Floppy Legs lifts up when it comes into contact with liquid. Finally, the AntiTouch Lamp actually bends if you get too close to avoid getting burnt!
