Here's one of the projects we're focused on right now:
We're making this large custom mobile for a Cincinnati-based hospital. It will hang 25 feet tall and 10 feet in diameter, with 54 brightly colored aluminum discs. We're scheduled to install it next week, so stay tuned for photos of the process!
A friend visiting Texas for the holidays sent us this photo of our Ekko Workshop desktop mobiles on display at the gift shop of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Man, we loving seeing our mobiles out in the wild!
Look who managed to sneak away from the shop for a day! Hope your holidays are also filled with fun and happiness.
Yesterday, we got training on how to use the new laser cutter. And late last night, Ben sent this text with some laser-cutter tinkering, "Ok maybe I should have gone home, but this is too much fun."
Watch for fun new laser-cutter things coming your way in 2017!
So keep in mind that this picture was snapped from an iPhone in our dark studio, so it's not the greatest quality. But still—LOOK! Our lighting mobile is complete!
Ah, but the work isn't done yet. We need to get it all packaged up for its cross-country trek, which is no easy feat for a piece with components this large. But we love a good challenge, so back to work!
Here's the paper airplane mobile hanging in it's final home—a Vancouver, Canada-based autism center. Bear in mind, this photo was snapped on an iPhone, but we love how the bright white planes look against the wood background!
We've been eagerly awaiting this delivery....
A brand spanking-new laser cutter! Isn't it beautiful?
We talked for awhile now about investing in something like this, and we finally did it! We have big plans to develop awesome new Ekko Workshop products using it...once we learn to actually use it!
Have we mentioned the lighting project we're working on? Here's a rendering:
We're enjoying the process and learning a ton. Stay tuned for progress updates.
We've shipped off the paper airplane mobile! Here's a little peek at the materials we used. These "paper" airplanes were actually laser cut and formed from acrylic, with the organization's logo cut into the corner. Stay tuned to see pictures of the final piece!
We took a few moments to add some of our recent projects to the gallery. Be sure to check them out!
