Next month, we’re traveling to Missouri to install this ceiling sculpture in a brand-new restaurant. We designed the sculpture to incorporate felt shapes, helping the restaurant’s acoustics by absorbing noise from the bar area. The felt shapes will have a wood backing, to provide structure, and we’ll create sets of mini-mobiles strung together to span the bar area. Stay tuned for installation pictures!
Future Mobile Maker?
Matt’s son came home from art camp yesterday, thrilled to share his creation—a stabile!
Copper Mobile Materials
We’re making headway on the copper mobile for a Seattle-area residence. We’re working with the clients to nail down the copper finishes that will be coordinate with their home. Here’s a peek at some options.
Massive Mobile Progress
We’re hyper focused on building this massive mobile for a children’s hospital in Bakersfield, California. The finished piece will hang about 20 feet tall by 20 feet wide, and you can see here how the shapes are monopolizing our shop space. Installation is in September, so stay tuned for final pictures!
Hervé Tullet Mobile
The mobile below was part of a really exciting collaboration with Hervé Tullet, children’s book author and illustrator extraordinaire (and definitely a favorite in the Richards household).
Hervé’s artwork is on exhibit at the Seoul Art Center, now through October. He wanted to include a hanging mobile among his creations, so several months ago, he reached out to Matt to collaborate. Here’s the Hervé Tullet-style mobile they designed and created together.
Ekko Workshop on Instinct
Recent text from Matt’s mom: “Is this one of Matt’s? It is on the show Instinct!”
Yes, yes it is! (And impressive eagle eyes, Matt’s mom!)
p.s. You can get one here!
Summer Road Trip 2018
It’s been a summer of working hard and playing equally hard. Matt and family just returned from an epic road trip that included time in Salt Lake City, the Uinta Mountains, Jackson, Wyoming, and Yellowstone. It was the perfect balance of hiking, swimming, wildlife sighting, and enjoying time with parents, siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Ok. Back to work!
Mobile Mock Up
Ok, this is one of those projects where our contract with the client prohibits us from providing us much detail. But we can’t help but show this mock-up of this mobile in a mock-up of the space. And you’ll just have to believe us when we say it’s gonna be awesome.
Kentucky Bank Mobile
Here’s a hanging mobile we’re shipping to Kentucky for a bank’s atrium. Our main constraint with this project was to fill a relatively large space on a very specific budget. This piece hangs 8 feet by 10 feet tall, and it gives the client some serious bang for their buck.
Massachusetts Office Mobile Installed
Just got these images of the hanging mobiles we created for the Massachusetts office building. We love seeing our mobiles in their final homes!
