Bloomberg Businessweek featured our Ekko Workshop Elliptical Desktop Mobile among its favorite well-designed distractions, aka "grown-up desk toys that improve workspaces and give brains a break." We're happy to receive such an honorable distinction!
Check out our Pterodactyl Mobile in Person!
The Museum at Prairie Fire has been open for business a few weeks now. If you're in the Kansas City area, be sure to pop in to check out our Pterodactyl mobiles in the lobby! We hear the rest of the museum is pretty awesome, too. (World's largest dinosaur exhibit. Need we say more?)
New Website!
Back in January, the behind-the-scenes gal around here resolved to update the Ekko Mobiles website. By the end of June, so she could blissfully enter summer without that big website project hanging overhead.
Well it's June 27, and our new site is live, three days ahead of schedule. We've added tons of beautiful high quality images, so be sure to check out our totally revamped gallery. Happy browsing, and more importantly, happy summer!
SemiSwing Triptych
A couple of years ago, we installed a large 12-foot wide mobile in the modern lobby of an affordable housing facility in San Jose. And we just got our hands on the most beautiful professional images of the place!
When the Wind Comes Right Behind the Rain
Here's part two of the series of mobiles and wall mural we installed in the brand-new Oklahoma City elementary school. Be sure to scroll through to see images of the raindrop mural and mobile!
Where the Wind Comes Sweepin' Down the Plain
In January we mentioned the Oklahoma-themed ceiling sculptures we had been commissioned to create for an Oklahoma City-based elementary school. We just returned from installing the pieces, and we hope the kids enjoy them!
Project in Paradise
We're doing a project for a resort in Hawaii, and we recently returned from a site visit. With all due respect to every other project we've ever completed, this might be our favorite locale yet.
Now accepting any and all projects in tropical locations!
Prairie Fire Museum
Matt and Ben just completed installing the Pterodactyl Mobile at the brand-new Museum of Prariefire in Kansas City. The guys enjoyed getting a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at the museum and its awesome dinosaur exhibit. If you're in the area, go!
Ready to Ship
The mobile we made for the New Hampshire hospital is ready for its 3,000 mile cross-country journey. To ensure safe travels, each ring is wrapped in foam padding, and the shapes are bundled together and secured together and protected with bubble wrap. It may not be a glamorous way to travel, but it should be effective!
Triple-Decker
Right now, we're working on mobile for a hospital in New Hampshire. This mobile will hangs 25 feet tall and 6 feet wide and will incorporate 275 polished circular shapes, distributed among three tiers. Ok, let's be honest, it's more of a chandelier than a mobile!
