Remember those not-kinetic pieces we mentioned last month (February 23)? This little video shows a model we created of the floor sculpture.
We'll start fabrication in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned for updates!
Texas Architect Magazine
Texas Architect Magazine featured Austin's Starr Building in its March/April issue. There's a great story about the building's renovation. (Be sure to check out the photos of our mobile on pages 55 and 56!)
Starr Building Photos
Architecture photographer Thomas McConnell recently added photos to his website of the Starr Building, where we installed a mobile last fall (November 10).
Scroll through the images to see the beautiful photographs, beautiful building, and a beautiful view of our mobile!
Challenge: Do Not Move
We've been in brainstorming mode. One impending project is for the lobby of a high-rise condominium in New Jersey. And because of space constraints, we needed to design two very dynamic pieces...that don't actually move. So we've tapped into our creative thinking and problem solving skills to develop concepts for pieces that feel kinetic without actually being kinetic.
We'll be creating one hanging sculpture and one stationary floor sculpture. Here's what we've come up with:
To-Do List
- Go to your local newsstand.
- Grab a March Martha Stewart Living.
- Turn to page 32.
- Admire our Leaves Mobile!
Time Management
How are we spending our time these days? A little of this, a little of that.

Design Within Reach will be nicely restocked soon.

Happy Holidays
Between churning out Tabletop Mobiles, celebrating the holidays, and taking some much-needed time of, we're going to be a little preoccupied for awhile. Wishing you all a joyous holiday season!
