Matt and Ben returned from New York, briefly caught their breaths, and headed straight back out for Cincinnati to install this large custom hanging mobile.
Dad of the Day
Matt and Ben just returned from a week in New York showing off the Ekko Workshop line at NYNow. Here's Matt spoiling his kiddos with goodies from New York's MoMA Design Store.
Cincinnati Hospital Mobile Rendering
Here's a rendering of another project in our queue. It will hang over a stairwell in The Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati.
Movement!
We're so excited about the progress we've made on the outdoor kinetic sculpture! Below are the arms all joined together, and Matt testing out its spinning ability. It spins at every joint, so it should have such fun movement once it's installed outdoors!
Portland Project Renderings
Here are renderings of a large custom mobile we'll be making soon for a Portland-based building. (We love local projects!) Stay tuned for lots of updates on this one.
Outdoor Mobile Base
We're making progress on the outdoor kinetic sculpture in Bridgehampton, New York. Here's a little inside peek at Matt's building process. To test the bends and structural integrity, he first created a desk-sized base. Then, pictured below is a larger cardboard version. Don't worry, the real thing will be created soon, and we with all these trial runs behind us, we're pretty sure it'll look beautiful and behave properly.
Staging for Seattle Mobile
The installation of this large custom mobile in Seattle is just a few weeks away! Meanwhile, Matt and his family are squeezing in a summer vacation. So to make sure the mobile is all ready to go, Matt has staged its layout on the shop floor. We're excited to see this one installed!
The Kids at the Shop
Matt's kids love love love visiting the shop. It could be the snacks (aka junk food) the guys keep on hand. Or it could be all the tools (aka dress up clothes)...
Ekko Workshop at Virginia Museum of Fine Art
While Matt was in Richmond, he stopped by the Virginia Museum of Fine Art to see this display of Ekko Workshop mobiles in the gift shop. Isn't it beautiful?
Science Museum of Virginia Mobile Installation
As we speak, Matt is on a flight home from Richmond, Virginia, where he installed a large custom hanging mobile yesterday in the early childhood section of the Science Museum of Virginia.
The installation went seamlessly. (Wish we could say the same about Matt's travels home. So many delay!)
Here are a few pictures he sent along, showing the staging, the final product, and the beautiful room where the mobile now resides:
