Cubebot

Robot toys are usually made of plastic and require batteries – but not this one! Inspired by the Japanese Shinto Kumi-ki puzzles, the Cubebot is a non-traditional take on the toy robot by joining ancient Japanese traditions with contemporary toy culture. The Cubebot's sturdy hardwood frame can hold many poses and when playtime is over, he neatly folds up into an unassuming cube.

Ulterior Votives

Fire often inspires personal reflection, but urban life offers few opportunities for such moments. These votives evoke three archetypal hearths: Après ski, the beacon in the wilderness, and keeping warm under a highway overpass. Each porcelain votive comes with an LED candle, but you can also use a standard tea light to create a 1/10th-scale roaring fire.
