Why to Choose Ekko Mobiles for Your Large Custom Hanging Mobile

Happy New Year! Matt kicked off 2016 with a trip to Hong Kong with his dad. They are gallivanting across the island as we speak.

Since Matt's not here to get all embarrassed, let’s chat about the reasons you’ll want to work with Ekko Mobiles on your next large custom hanging mobile project.

Our credentials. It’s not everyday you find a dream team that includes an engineer-turned-artist PLUS an industrial designer. From design to installation, these guys know their stuff. Not only do they have an eye for design and beauty, but they understand the ins and outs of materials, balance, and movement, to ensure your large custom mobile looks good, performs well, and has structural integrity.

Our perfectionism. The very best kind. The kind of perfectionism that ensures the design meets each and every one of your specifications—and that it’s executed flawlessly. We’re perfectionists about making the most of your budget, attention to detail, meeting your deadline, and communicating with you along the way.

Our experience. We’ve been making large custom hanging mobiles and kinetic sculpture for more than 15 years. We’ve worked with nearly every type of client (interior designers, art consultants, architects, project managers, homeowners) on nearly every type of space (private residences, universities, libraries, government building, hospitals, hospitals, and more hospitals), so we’ve seen a lot, and we have the know-how and resourcefulness to meet any design challenge.

Our attitude. No ego here. In fact, we LOVE the collaborative process, so we’ll welcome your input and requirements and feedback throughout the design phase. And we communicate progress with you throughout the entire design, build, and installation process.

Please reach out to connect with us about your large hanging mobile project. We’re eager to work with you!

Meanwhile, here's a bit of Hong Kong to enjoy:


Happy Holidays from Ekko Mobiles!

Whew! It's been a whirlwind December. We've been completing residential projects, small-scale commissions, and shop renovations. Plus filling Ekko Workshop orders and lining up our 2016 project calendar. (Contact us sooner than later about your projects!)

Fortunately, Matt was able to escape briefly to enjoy the mountains with his family. (Ben will be escaping to Hawaii for ten days, but we're a little too jealous to talk about it...)

Here's hoping your holiday season is filled with peace, joy, and maybe even a little fun.


Chicago Library Mobile

We're hoping you can overlook the cluttered backdrop of this photo. Our studio is undergoing some renovations. But we just wanted to show off this fun mobile that's going to a library in Chicago. (It's the year of library projects!) This mobile hangs about 6 feet wide by 1.5 feet tall.

Made Here PDX

Matt and family went for a stroll through their neighborhood over the weekend and popped into MadeHere PDX, a specialty store exclusively of made-in-Portland products. It was fun to check out their Ekko Workshop display. It's an honor to be featured among so many impressive Portland-made products!

Kenucky Library Mobile Installation

Matt and Ben just returned from a trip to install this mobile for a brand-new library in Nicholasville, Kentucky. The installation went smoothly, but the building is still undergoing construction, so before leaving, the guys securely wrapped up the mobile to protect it from dust and damage. We're loving the colors against the white backdrop.

The Makers

When Matt's not making mobiles, he's usually making stuff with his daughter. This weekend's project: bat costume for Halloween.

Love You Too, Fab

This might be the best notification we've ever seen.

(Seeing Matt's phone at a full 92% is also pretty noteworthy.)
