Matt's birthday was yesterday, and he celebrated by spending the day like this:
But seeing the final product fully installed was a nice gift for Matt AND Ben. (Not to mention the birthday cake the client surprised them with!)
Texas Apartment Mobiles
Here's another project in our queue. This will be a set of two identical mobiles, made of polished stainless steel, for a high-end apartment building in Texas.
Restaurant Ceiling Sculpture
Here's another project in our queue, slated for early next year. This ceiling sculpture will hang from the bar area of a restaurant, and the shapes will be colorful heavy-duty felt.
Wisconsin Medical Center Mobile
Here's a rendering of project in our queue. This large custom hanging mobile will hang from the stairwell of a medical center in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Detroit or Bust, The Movie
Here's a time lapse video Ben created to document the loooooong drive to Detroit last month and installation process. Enjoy!
Bay Area Mobile
Here's a rendering for another project in our queue. It's for a Bay-area facility, and it's similar in style to Progression, which we completed in 2012. We love this style of project, so we're eager to tackle it!
Laser-Cut Leaves
Well, as much as we'd like to take a three-month vacation to recover from the Detroit hotel project, we've got a busy October lined up. First up, we're focused on refining the leaf shapes for the Orlando hospital mobile. Here's a cardboard prototype zapped from our laser cutter.
Detroit Westin Hanging Mobile
Completing the Detroit hotel mobile was thrilling. And waking up the next morning to an inbox full of happy e-mails from the clients was the cherry on top.
"Love it and really believe this has been a missing piece in our atrium. Really well done in my opinion, and should really tie in nicely with all the components of our lobby."
"It looks fantastic!! Very pleased team. Good job in making it all come together."
"Thank you for all your hard work on this piece. We're looking forward to the next one!"
Detroit Hotel Mobile Installation
The good news is that the Detroit hotel mobile is finished! The great news is that the installation couldn't have gone more smoothly. And the REALLY great news is that the guys got home via Alaska Airlines instead of Budget truck!
Matt and Ben's Excellent Adventure
Matt and Ben survived the three-day trek to Detroit. They passed through eight states and consuming massive amounts of orange Gatorade and Blue Diamond salt & vinegar almonds along the way. And the best part? Not one single "Are we there yet?!?!?" was uttered. [High five]
