We just put the finishing touches on the mobile we created for the international middle school in Malaysia. We can't wait to see it hanging in the school's new building (instead of our cluttered shop)!
Red Thread Ceiling Sculpture Installation
Well after a few minor hiccups, some sweet-talking our fabrication guys, and some looooonnnng hours, we got the Red Thread Ceiling Sculpture express shipped to the East Coast, where it was installed over the weekend. We're thrilled it's finished. (And relieved it was finished on time!)
Fish Mobile for Florida Hospital
Here's a project in our queue for this spring: It's a series of 200 individual mobiles that will "swim along" the entry corridor of a Lakeland, Florida-based hospital. The entire piece will include 800 fish-inspired shapes made of powder-coated perforated steel.
Red Thread Sculpture Frames
We're making serious headway on the red thread ceiling sculptures! The client's timeline is aggressive, so it's been all hands on deck to get these completed in time. The forms are headed to powder coated next, and then they'll trek across the country for an early March installation. Stay tuned!
Malaysia Middle School Mobile
Here's a mobile we're creating for an international middle school in Malaysia. Students at the school provided inspirational images of wildlife in Malaysia, like hornbill birds and paradise flowers, which we incorporated into the design. We've just finalized the color scheme, and the piece will be installed this summer at the school's brand-new campus.

Red Thread Ceiling Sculptures
Here's a project that's getting a lot of our focus at the moment. This will be a 4 sets of sculptures to hang in the staircases of two sister office buildings. It represents red thread, a concept used throughout Greek mythology, Asian history, and the Bible, to represent connectivity and a willingness to aid. We look forward to seeing it come together!
Wisconsin Medical Center Mobile Progress
We've made major headway on the mobile we're creating for a medical center in Appleton Wisconsin. We're loving how the bright acrylic shapes turned out!
Introducing: Pre-Fab Mobiles by Ekko Mobiles!
For ages now, we've been discussed the idea of creating a line of pre-designed mobiles for those who want a large-scale mobile on a budget. Well, we've finally done it....
Introducing our Pre-Fab Mobiles! We've done the heavy design work in advance—and you get to select the size, colors, materials and/or finishes. Streamlining the design process has allowed us to keep prices low and lead times fast. Go check out the introductory designs! We have several more designs in the queue, so keep an eye on our Pre-Fab Gallery for updates.
