Focused on creating functional products that have a sense of humor, and which experiment with interesting materials and design motifs, and are well-made, the Recycled PET Felt Collection and Flying Saucer Bowl Set have been recognized as among the most innovative products.
Vicki Kung, co-founder of the firm, adds that the products are designed to support multiple uses, extending their utility as people move from home to office to play. Designed to keep people and households organized, these products easily become a part of a person’s toolkit.
The Recycled PET Felt Collection products are made of polyester felt. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, the felt fabric is made in the US by a manufacturer of industrial fabrics. It is estimated that each pound of fabric is equivalent to 10 plastic bottles that would otherwise go to landfill. Manufactured at a certified woman-owned apparel factory in the Los Angeles area, the felt products have been translated into consumer products by the Museum of Robots.
The products range from market totes, to wine bags, to notebook covers and portfolios. Notebook covers include a notepad made of recycled paper by Blind Industries & Services of Maryland, which trains and employs the blind and visually impaired.
The Flying Saucer Base Collection features a large stainless steel base that holds a two-piece, multi-functional wooden bowl set made of acacia wood. The bowl set can be used covered or with the top resting on its antennae as a second bowl. The small stainless steel base holds the laboratory glass Scientific Vase.
Museum of Robots has also introduced the Leather Command Center Organization Group, featuring a leather notebook cover, covered box, and tray set, all embossed with the signature Museum of Robots motif.
