Fingers Mk III by Nik Ramage for Laikingland is a fantastic, impatiently-tapping mechanical replica of Ramage’s own hand.
At the flick of a switch, the realistic digits in distinctive dark black iron drum rhythmically, until the motor is turned off again. Ramage has been a good friend of Smith for many years, describing himself as “a mechanical sculptor who makes useless machines and invents contraptions that the world didn't know it needed”.
Based in both the UK and The Netherlands, Laikingland is a creative label who designs and manufactures beautifully crafted kinetic objects that engage, and evoke a sense of play and nostalgia.
