Dutch design studios BCXSY and Atelier Robotiq have collaborated to create a lamp with a disorderly pattern that is meant to suggest that it was made by a robot with a mind of its own.
The Out of Order light has a cylindrical body made of a delicate-looking web of fibres. It was produced by an industrial robot, repurposed from the factory floor and programmed to spin resin-reinforced yarn around a mandrel.

"Robots are considered as a perfect match to the complex, high-precision movement requirements within industrial winding techniques," said BCXSY founders Boaz Cohen and Sayaka Yamamoto. "They are reliable, always available and can repeat the same accurate gestures over and over again." "But what would happen once the flawless worker becomes less impeccable" What if it would grow tired of its daily routine, or becomes absent-minded while daydreaming""
