Modern Mobiles at Design Public

10-1-08mobilesmain.jpgThis past weekend we visited a loft with the most amazing mobiles in it. We haven't been able to stop thinking about them, so we thought we'd do a round-up of our favorite ones from Bay Area-based Design Public. Take a look, after the jump!

Those are all very nice, but why are so many mobiles you see these days hung symmetyrically along one axis? I have a couple Flensted mobiles, and a large part of what I love about them is the way they are counterbalanced such that the lightest breeze sets them spinning. Motion is what makes mobiles so magical, and ones like these are doomed to be largely static.

I totally agree, the Flenstad mobiles are terrific!

I love that these are all possible to be made at home. $104 for one is a lil extreme especially now a days

I'm another who prefers the asymmetrical mobiles. Thanks for the Flensted link, elephony!
