Laikingland Applause Machine

Tweet

In deciding to post about this decidedly geeky and frankly fantastic Applause Machine designed by Martin Smith and made available via Laikingland we accept that, in terms of detail, there’s not a great deal we can write, however, we simply could not pass up on featuring it here on TFTS as, well, we think its nothing short of brilliant (albeit in a particularly wacky way).

There is, it must be said, not a great deal of complexity here and certainly, in terms of high tech innovation, well, the Applause Machine can hardly hold its hands up (this was an attempt at a pun – we accept that its failed miserably) as being at the cutting edge of anything. But, and it’s a big but, in terms of sheer poetry the Applause Machine is nothing short of magnificent.

Measuring in at 45cm/18” in height and constructed from powder coated steel, brass, wood, plastic and a small motor powered by two AA batteries the premise of the Applause Machine is put rather succinctly as thus: ‘Push the button and the Applause Machine claps it’s hands for you.’ Brilliant.

The Applause Machine is available in a range of colors and will set you back £195 (circa $291) as at the time of writing and we love it.
