Designer Alexander Kanygin recently collaborated with a group of artists, illustrators and architects to design a series of multifunctional wooden robots. Although these low-tech wooden creations may look like children's toys, they are actually capable of performing a number of useful tasks.
The collection is called 'Robo Wood' and it features a series of wooden robots that operate as functional decorations. Each of the tiny robots features a different design with its own unique shape and style. While the decorative robots cannot perform any high-tech tasks, they are useful for a variety of household functions. The tiny robots can operate as a number of useful devices such as tissue holders, clothes hangers and coin receptacles.
