Rocket Roller – Robot Art Lamp by Bobby Anderson (RVA246)

Rocket Roller - Original Robot Art Lamp

Unique Desk Lamp by Artist, Bobby Anderson

Meet Rocket Roller, a 20" desk lamp and fiery warrior from another galaxy - half sculpture, half lamp, and fully alive with attitude. This one-of-a-kind robot art lamp was hand-engineered and assembled by Memphis artist Bobby Anderson (RVA246) from reclaimed metal parts, vintage components, and pure imagination.

A member of the RVA246 Robot Lamp Series, Rocket Roller comes ready to light things up. He's a boredom wrecking ball for mundane spaces - eyes glowing, blasters drawn, rockets flickering, your guests smiling.

About the Artwork

Crafted with precision and humor, “Rocket Roller” embodies Anderson’s signature style: transforming salvaged materials into functional art that merges storytelling, light, and sculpture. Functional art lighting. Posable, swiveling parts add personality and interactivity, while flame simulation bulbs make this piece feel animated and alive.

No two RVA246 robots are ever the same. Each is individually constructed, wired, and finished for collectors who crave originality and character.
