Matt's wife spent a long weekend in San Diego—and she was thrilled to see Ekko Workshop front and center at the San Diego Museum of Art's gift shop!
Gallery Updates!
We've added a few recent projects to the Gallery section of our website, so be sure to check then out!
Red Thread Ceiling Sculpture
LAX Divider Wall
Halo of Circles Mobile
Destination: Florida!
These crates contain all the parts and materials for the Fish Mobile and Butterflies Wall Sculpture that we're installing soon in a Florida Hospital. Stay tuned!
Let There Be Light
Here's a little side project Matt created—a mobile-inspired light fixture for his family's recently remodeled kitchen. (Word has it the wife is thrilled.)
White River Mobile Cleaning
Matt and Ben just got back from their yearly trip to Batesville, Arkansas to clean and tune up the White River Mobile. Everything went smoothly, from the flights to the cleaning, hallelujah. And the mobile looks as good as ever!
Felt Leaves for Restaurant Ceiling Sculpture
Here's a peek at the material we'll be using for the restaurant ceiling sculpture in our queue. This thick wool felt was chosen intentionally to help absorb noise from the restaurant's busy bar area. We're huge fans of materials that are both beautiful and functional. The second picture shows the metal frame that we designed to give the leaves shapes structure, while adding a vein-like appearance.
Texas Apartment Mobiles Complete!
Finishing this project was our top priority last week!
Here are a few pictures of the piece hanging in our shop. The pictures aren't terribly glamorous—our shop is jam packed (aka cluttered) these days! The last few provide a peek into the efforts we take to ensure our mobiles travel safely. We can't wait to see the pair of mobiles hanging at their (more beautiful) destination!
Cancer Ribbon Crane Sculpture
Here's a project in our queue for a Sonora, California-based hospital. It's a ceiling sculpture made of 1,000 origami-inspired cranes (like the ones we designed for this project last year), strung into the shape of the cancer ribbon.
Butterflies Wall Sculpture
You know that hospital in Florida we're making an enormous fish-inspired series of mobile for? Well, we're also making a wall sculpture for the hospital's pediatric ward—a swarm of 75 metal butterflies, positioned as though they're ready to take flight.
We love changing things up with non-mobile pieces, so we're especially eager to tackle this one! (And after a long winter in Portland, some quality time in Florida will be an nice bonus.)
Wisconsin Medical Center Mobile Complete!
We just received pictures of the mobile we provided to the medical center in Appleton, Wisconsin. We were relieved to hear the installation went smoothly—and we're loving the final product. Be sure to check out the colorful shadows cast onto the walls in the second picture and the view from outside the building in the third picture.
