Andrea Petrachi has created robots made from trash. The designer can make the most adorable and creative bot sculptures from the refuse in your trash can. Taking objects like broken electronics and pre-loved toys, he can easily assemble them into the form of the most interesting robot figurine that you will ever see.
Petrachi's artwork is not only nice to look at but there's thought behind it as well. By using items from our trash, his robot sculptures are a statement against mankind's thirst for consumerism and our quickness in throwing inanimate objects away.
Well, if I had his ability to turn garbage into awesome looking toys, I wouldn't throw anything away!
