Bennett Robot Works


Add some one-of-a-kind style to your collection with one of the fine specimens from Bennett Robot Works of Bridgehampton, NY. These are not toys.

These robot sculptures were inspired by the "Modern Age" visions of Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy from the 40s and 50s. They are made from salvaged parts from such unique locations as garbage dumps, basements, construction sites, and garage sales.

Ranging in price from $750 to $6000, Bennett currently has over 30 robots on display and for sale. Each robot takes approximately a month to build, and range in height from 14" to 25".

While not battery powered or mechanical in nature, you will be able to rest easy at night knowing you will be safe during the impending robot uprising while your friends are forced to fight off the cute but killer Elmo robot and his 'jazz hands' or the always deadly Beerbot.
