You may have noticed many of our mobiles come in bright primary colors. But that doesn’t mean won’t venture beyond the basics. Nearly all of our mobiles are customizable. In fact, we even had a customer recently order a Charade in purple, lime green, and bubble gum pink. It turned out great. So feel free to go wild!
Blue Circle, Red Square...
Here’s a mobile we’re about to send off to a library in the Chicago area. It will hang in the library’s children’s section, hence the geometric shapes and bright, primary colors.
It hangs about 6 feet across, and the shapes are a translucent acrylic that looks really cool when light shines through it.
Set Your TiVo
If you’ve been anxiously awaiting more info on our Divine Design appearance (see April 24, 2008), we’ve got an air date for you.
Sort of.
Our mobile will air in the fourth Divine Design episode of HGTV’s fall 2008 season. We’ll let you know when we find out an exact date!
We're Live!
After a few trial-run weeks, our new Ekko Mobiles web site is now live under our www.ekkomobiles.com web address. We still need to make a couple minor tweaks, like add more projects to our commissions section. But all the important stuff here, ready to go. Be sure to check out our shop, with an expanded selection of mobiles and a great new option to select custom colors on some of our most popular pieces.
Happy browsing!
Commissions 101
Lately, we’ve had a lot of people interested in White Ribbons. One guy asked about getting a much smaller piece for his living room. Another guy asked if it’s available in colors other than white.
Here’s the great thing about commissions: They’re totally tailored to you. So when it comes to colors, sizes, materials—you name it—as long as it doesn’t break the laws of physics, we can pretty much make it happen!
A Bold Entrance
Here’s a mobile we just provided to an architecture firm in Louisville, Kentucky. The firm had just renovated a historic building and wanted a bold piece for the office’s two-story foyer. We used strong colors and thick wire to give the mobile a substantial feel.
We especially love how the colors pop from below:
Divinely Designed Mobile
Anybody out there seen Divine Design on HGTV? We shipped this mobile to them today for an episode that will air later this year. The design is based on Valley Ho (see our commissions gallery), but was tweaked slightly to fit their taller, narrower dimensions.
The mobile will reside in a Montreal-based loft. The show’s designer, Candice, requested a neutral-colored mobile with reflective components that will play up the loft’s modern track lighting. So we painted the bottom of each shape cream and applied a reflective mirror finish to the top.
Stay tuned for an air date.
p.s. It’ll look much better in their loft than in our studio. Promise!
