The fantastic Theo Jansen is world-renowned for his creations consisting of PVC pipes, wood, and various plastics.

A beautiful amalgamation of art and engineering, these Strandbeest vary in size ranging from the size of small animals to behemoths of incredible proportion. Regardless of size, they all maintain baffling intricacies that make them seem alive.
