Here's a rendering for another project in our queue. It's for a Bay-area facility, and it's similar in style to Progression, which we completed in 2012. We love this style of project, so we're eager to tackle it!
Laser-Cut Leaves
Well, as much as we'd like to take a three-month vacation to recover from the Detroit hotel project, we've got a busy October lined up. First up, we're focused on refining the leaf shapes for the Orlando hospital mobile. Here's a cardboard prototype zapped from our laser cutter.
Detroit Westin Hanging Mobile
Completing the Detroit hotel mobile was thrilling. And waking up the next morning to an inbox full of happy e-mails from the clients was the cherry on top.
"Love it and really believe this has been a missing piece in our atrium. Really well done in my opinion, and should really tie in nicely with all the components of our lobby."
"It looks fantastic!! Very pleased team. Good job in making it all come together."
"Thank you for all your hard work on this piece. We're looking forward to the next one!"
Detroit Hotel Mobile Installation
The good news is that the Detroit hotel mobile is finished! The great news is that the installation couldn't have gone more smoothly. And the REALLY great news is that the guys got home via Alaska Airlines instead of Budget truck!
Matt and Ben's Excellent Adventure
Matt and Ben survived the three-day trek to Detroit. They passed through eight states and consuming massive amounts of orange Gatorade and Blue Diamond salt & vinegar almonds along the way. And the best part? Not one single "Are we there yet?!?!?" was uttered. [High five]
Detroit or Bust
Well, here goes nothing. Matt and Ben are headed to Detroit. Thanks to this mobile's massive size, they decided driving there—materials and all—made more sense than driving. So they've loaded up this Budget truck with frames, fabric, tools, and plenty of snacks. Google Maps says it's a 36-hour drive, which they plan to split into two-and-a-half days of driving. So Bon Voyage, guys! We can't wait to see the end result!
Seamstress Central: Behind the Scenes
Here's a little peek into the inner workings of Ekko Mobiles right now. All hands are on deck to finish the Detroit hotel project. Here you can see a huge stash of fabric, some frames getting fitted with fabric, and a couple of hard-working ladies showing off their work (and thrilled to be almost done with this project)!
Orlando Hospital Mobile
And here's another project in our queue. This one will consist of three identical mobiles strung together to span a long, narrow hallway of an Orlando hospital. We can't wait to see it come together!
New Ekko Workshop Mobile
Matt and Ben are at a trade show in New York to share our lovely Ekko Workshop products with buyers around the world. We're super excited to introduce this new walnut version of our classic Vectored Array mobile. Get yours now here!
Large Custom Hanging Mobile for Wisconsin Hotel
We're still sewing up a storm for the Detroit hotel project, but meanwhile, we'll share a rendering of another project in our queue. This custom mobile will hang in the stairway of a Wisconsin-based hospital. It will be made of bright transparent acrylic shapes so it will be easily visible from outside. The mobile itself will hang about 12 feet tall by 5 feet tall. Stay tuned for updates!
