Los Angeles Hotel Wall Divider

Here's another project in our queue—and the rendering might not make much sense without a little explanation. We were asked to create an artistic feature to act as a divider between two separate areas in a Los Angeles hotel.

Working with the client, we designed this piece, which will consist of painted aluminum shapes hung from tension-strung cables. The piece will create the desired separation while providing an interesting visual statement. It's definitely a departure from the projects we usually work on—and we're thrilled to tackle it!

Playing Hooky

It's been a crazy busy summer here at Ekko Mobiles, but Matt managed to sneak away to spend a little time getting lost in the wilderness.

WHITE Cranes Mobile!

Well our black cranes mobile of turned into white cranes along the way. And we love how they turned out! We just finished assembling, packaing, and shipped it to the client. We can't wait to see pictures of it hanging!

Packaging the mobile was serious business.

Bon Voyage!

Detroit Hotel Mobile Model

For the Detroit hotel project, we created a scale model for the client. We had the shapes created by a local 3D-printing fabricator (which kinda makes us want a 3D printer...). Then Matt spent a good chunk of time hanging, balancing, and refining the model. Then he spent another chunk of time figuring out how to safely ship it! The good news is that it made it safely to the client. Phew!

Crane Mobile Prototype and Shapes

We're making serious progress on the origami cranes ceiling sculpture. First, we designed this prototype, to replicate the style of an origami crane out of metal:

Then we had a whole bunch of shapes laser cut. Here's the "body" portion of the crane:

And NOW, the body and wing shapes are at the powder-coater. Up next: assembly!
