Tremonto's Lightbotz is a customized series of vinyl characters for vinyl toy manufacturer 'Kidrobot.' These little toys showcase the American lighting designer's talent and humor. The limited edition handmade characters are inspired by science fiction and video games.
Implications - As physics and optics research continues to conquer certain mysteries, it becomes a matter of time until they are commercialized and introduced into the home. Businesses that bridge that schism between the laboratory and the marketplace will put themselves in a very profitable position.
