# Recycled Robotic Figures Dario Tironi Uses a Mixture of Recycled Items to Create a Robot Family By Peter Vallas | Published 2011-06-07 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dario-tironi References: [ignant.de](http://www.ignant.de/2011/06/06/dario-tironi/) & [celesteprize](http://www.celesteprize.com/dariotironi) Dario Tironi is an Italian artist who enjoys creating [unique art installations and sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures). However, Tironi doesn't use paint or traditional materials; he uses recycled objects and electronics. Dario Tironi's latest project is an ongoing series created from recycled parts. In this series named 'Things,' Tironi creates a familylike set of [sculptures that look like robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pomodoro-bot). Tironi uses almost every object imaginable to create this family of recycled parts. The family includes a father, a mother, a child and even a dog. His artistic skills with recycled components even led him to create an intricate self-portrait. I really hope he adds more models to the family soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Recycled Art:** Opportunity for artists to create unique sculptures using recycled objects and electronics. - **Robot Sculptures:** Growing trend of creating robot-like sculptures using a variety of recycled parts. - **Sustainable Art:** Increasing interest in using recycled materials to create environmentally conscious art installations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists can leverage recycled objects to create innovative sculptures and installations. - **Waste Management:** Opportunity for waste management companies to collaborate with artists in repurposing and recycling materials for art projects. - **Eco-friendly Products:** Growing market for eco-friendly art creations made from recycled materials, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human-Made Lamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-am-not-a-robot-lamp-collection.md) - [Recycled Collectible Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recyclings.md) - [Artist-Designed Toy Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-toy-series.md) - [Abandoned Bikes-Turned Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames.md) - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [Repurposed Electric Scooter Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emetabolism-collection.md) - [Ribboned Recycled Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruffini.md) - [Folded Paper Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clara-von-zweibergk.md) - [Recycled Bar Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-installation.md)
