About Us

The concept for Ekko Mobiles began nearly ten years ago, while Matthew Richards was pursuing his mechanical engineering degree. As Matt tinkered during downtime to create kinetic works of art, he realized the joy of merging art with his technical background. And what began as novelty gifts for friends quickly evolved into Ekko Mobiles. Now Ekko provides mobiles to art aficionados worldwide.

Matt’s Ekko designs echo the works and style of Alexander Calder—father of the mobile and fellow mechanical engineer. Matt even employs the same techniques as Calder to create unique, high-quality works of engineered art. Part artist, part “problem solver,” Matt enjoys both the technical and artistic challenges of creating mobiles. And his penchant for perfectionism and extreme attention to detail ensure top-notch creations each and every time.

Matt has provided commissioned Ekko Mobiles to Bloomingdale’s, the set of Ocean’s 13, Harpo Studios, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Starz Entertainment, GlaxoSmithKline, Hotel Valley Ho, Boston Consulting Group, and many other corporations, organizations, and private residences across the globe.

Ekko Mobiles have been featured in Elegant Bride Magazine, The Week magazine, the Houston Chronicle, DwellShop.com, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and HGTV’s Divine Design.
