Here are sketches of an exciting project in our queue. Although the project isn't due for a few months, it's already occupying a sizable chunk of our mental real estate. It will be our tallest project to date (40 feet tall!), and one of the many complexities will involve ensuring that its hundreds of polished stainless-steel shapes stay polished throughout the process...
The final piece will be installed in a hospital in Arkansas, where it will hang in the cafeteria's multi-story atrium area. As pictured in the second rendering, visitors will be able to view the mobile from higher floors of the hospital.
And here are images of the project we did for Leith Honda Dealership in Raleigh, North Carolina. In all, we created nine mobiles that will hang in their showroom
The large mobiles hang 6 feet tall by 3 feet wide, and the smaller mobiles hang 3 feet tall by 3 feet wide. The shapes are made of a lightweight but durable plastic product that were digitally printed with color and then routed into shapes. Pictured is one of the large version, plus a closeup and rarely seen view from above.
The shop renovations are coming along nicely. All this painting (and contorting to reach the ceiling) has given Matt a deep backache and an even deeper appreciation for Michelangelo's work on the Sistine Chapel.
Next up, reorganizing and spring cleaning. Then we'll return, refreshed and reinvigorated, to our queue of very fun projects.
We interrupt this regularly scheduled mobile making for a few shop improvements.
First up, this ambitious undertaking: painting the shop's 20-foot walls.
If you've been waiting around for a Tabletop Mobile, we just sent off another batch to Design Within Reach. Grab one sooner than later!
And for your viewing pleasure, photos of the mobile we made for the McGarrah Jessee Building in Austin.
We completed this project ages ago, but we just now got our hands on these professional images. Happy day!
Go check out our gallery! We just updated it with seven new pieces. (And we're using the term "new" very loosely. Some pieces were completed nearly two years ago...but they're still new to the gallery!)
Newly added pieces include:
Alignment
Columbus Interactive
Color Play
Inharmonic Spectra
Intercession
Leaf Lines 2.0
Polychromatic Pendants
Right now, we're working on a variation of SemiSwing for an affordable housing facility in San Jose. We gave the client the choice of several color schemes that would coordinate the facility's decor and wall art, and here was their final verdict. Off to the powder coater it goes!
