Just coming up for air to say we’re making progress on stringing together those 310 strands. Here, they’re neatly wrapped and labeled to make installation a breeze*.
*Correction: Matt and Ben say installations are never a breeze. But hey, here’s to optimism!
In March, we showed renderings of a wall mural mobile we’re making in collaboration with artist Daniel Goldstein for a corporate office building in Jacksonville, Florida. We’re also making the client a ceiling sculpture that will include 310 stands of 2,500 shapes. Below are the materials that we will spend every waking moment stringing together during the coming weeks. Wish us luck—and see you on the other side!
We got this picture last month from our clients showing the SMU Peruna sculpture in the nearly completed space. Their very kind email said that during a hard-hat tour with key stake holders, the piece “got a lot of ‘wows’” and “lots of gasps” and that it was “definitely a show piece.” Aw shucks, we love that kind of feedback.
We’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the sculpture during this college football season!
Matt and his wife just returned from a trip to Norway where they hiked, visited museums, saunaed, and cold plunged into fjords. But one highlight was visiting Oslo’s Deichman Bjørvika Public Library where Matt admired delightful and inspiring things hanging from the ceilings.
Here’s a rendering of a classic-style mobile in our queue. This will span 20 feet in the newly renovated lobby of Children’s Hospital of Georgia in Augusta. Colors are still to be determined, but no matter what the client chooses, it should look amazing in that gorgeous space! Install is scheduled for spring of 2025, so stay tuned for updates.
We try not to play favorites, but we will NEVER complain about an installation that takes us to Hawaii. For this one, we installed a series of 60 mobiles in the brand-new flagship Tori Richard clothing store on Waikiki’s main strip.
The mobiles cover a 30-foot space, swirling beneath the entryway’s skylight and trailing into the retail area. For the shapes, we used a combination of mango wood (a wood native to Hawaii) and an acrylic with a shoji paper finish. Each shape was installed onto a small bearing that allows the shapes to gently rock back and forth, mimicking the nearby ocean waves.
If you’re in Honolulu, be sure to check it out (and admire—or treat yo’self to—all that beautiful Tori Richard apparel)!
Here’s a rendering of a ceiling sculpture we’re creating for a new hospital in Round Rock, Texas. The client requested a piece that provides substantial coverage to the hospital’s lobby while incorporating nature elements, so the piece will incorporate large leaf shapes strung together to span the 60-foot space. Color scheme is still tbd, so stay tuned for updates!
We just received pictures of the ceiling sculpture we created for a Daytona Beach health clinic. We love how the blue pops in that beautiful bright white space!
In March, we posted renderings of a wall mural-mobile we’re creating for a Jacksonville-based office building. We’re making progress, slowly but surely. Here are some of the components that have been through a dye sublimation process to create an ombré effect. We’ll be thrilled to see this one come together!
