Caring Cartoon Lamps

The Big Hero 6 Light by infoThink Brings Comfort to Children and Adults

— March 4, 2015 — Art & Design
Those who've had the chance to watch Disney's 'Big Hero 6' will understand why a cartoon lamp modeled after Baymax is one of the best tributes to the animated movie. The robot's sole purpose is to take care of people, and in this cartoon lamp form, it does that by shedding a comforting light on those nearby.

Although made with children in mind, the cartoon lamp could easily be a companion for adults as well. Created by infoThink, it boasts multiple modes including Fade, Smooth Breathing, Flash and Soothing Sleep Mode as well as brightness control to ensure it's as practical as it's cute. At the end of the day, however, it is an interesting souvenir of the movie that focuses on childlike needs and qualities.
