Most people don't discover the kinetic joy of a mobile at home until they have a baby and buy one for the crib. But the current explosion in modern design options for kids has also ushered in its opposite: modern home accessories for adults that turn the dial from austere to playful.
Mobiles are a natural for this category: hanging sculptures that dance with light and constantly change. They're a distinctive way to incorporate art into a space.
Local Thing Tank designer Chris Luomanen has designed a line of modern mobiles that are perfect for modern contrast in rooms with high Victorian ceilings. Designed in six cutout patterns and generously-sized (30" by 20"), they're made from oiled mahagony plywood or opaque white acylic.
The mobiles are beautiful ... but the coffee table is amazing.
Mobiles are truly marvelous works of art! So much character and intrigue...
I agree about the coffee table. Who's it by?
I totally dig these mobiles! What a fun thing to include in your home decor.
Thanks for your kind words about the coffee table. I did that as well. Its a very simple construction. If you are interested in it, contact me. Maybe I'll do a small run of them.
Best,
Chris Luomanen
