Hey, some people don’t like to sleep alone… I get that. But I’m really not sure that a creepy moving robot pillow is the answer. Check this out!
As part of his graduate thesis, German designer Stefan Ulrich worked with electroactive polymers (EPAs), a type of synthetic material—similar to everyday plastic—that changes shape in response to an electric current.

Ulrich, however, decided to take advantage of the material’s unique properties to create a shape-shifting robot of marshmallow texture and color. Ulrich claims the project, which he calls Funktionide, provides its user “with an atmosphere of presence, thus counteracting the feeling of loneliness.”
Here it is in “action.”
GAHHH!! Fuck you, Kraut! This is just another post-Third Reich trick to smother people in their sleep! (Wait… does it have a vagina? If so, forget I called you a Kraut.)
Finally! I’ve been wanting – nay, craving – an intimate sleeping session with a huge, writhing larvae for years.
Thanks but no thanks. Even with a vagina.
Um… Uh… you could… maybe… um… uh… I am out of thought.
You’re my only friend, giant shape-shifting marshmallow pillow.
Stay Puft Marshmallow Mann, du hast lost your penis…und it ist mein…ALL MEIN!!!
OMG, they are going to sell SO MANY of these!
