| Welcome to the Mobile Factory and my hanging mobile gallery!
All of these mobiles are my own original designs and are carefully hand-made to your order using techniques and materials representative of the methods employed by Alexander Calder; the artist / inventor of the hanging mobile as a form of kinetic sculpture. Primary materials used in construction are aluminum sheet metal and stainless steel wire. Painted surfaces are primed and then painted with a high quality acrylic paint. I prefer to use a satin-finish paint to avoid light reflections and to achieve maximum color saturation. You will find size and color information listed for each mobile. Alterations in size and color are always welcomed, and if you are interested in a custom hanging mobile, visit the "Commissions" page for some examples of representative work produced in conjunction with client input. Please feel free to contact me via email for pricing and delivery information. - To view, click on a thumbnail image to enlarge it and view the item description. - Use your "back" button to return to this page. |

| Hanging mobiles as a design element for interior decorating
A hanging mobile is the perfect way to add an accent and bring some life to your living space! Mobiles especially suit rooms in your home or office that are decorated in Mid-Century Modern (Mod), Retro / Atomic, or eclectic décor, but you may find that they also fit well in other areas such as a children’s room, or recreation room. A two-story foyer or a room with a vaulted ceiling is the perfect area to hang a mobile! |

| Hanging Mobiles as art
Do you love art, but find that your walls have reached the saturation point with all of the paintings and photographs that you’ve hung up? Would you like to have a piece of original sculpture in your home but have no place to display it? Would you like to have an accent piece that immediately captures your attention as you enter the room, yet is unobtrusive? If the answer is yes, it is time to think about adding a hanging mobile to your collection. |

| Hanging Mobiles are a unique art form!
Unlike other forms of abstract art, a mobile can be appreciated by people of all ages and tastes. Each design has its own “personality”, and each one exhibits a unique combination of playfulness and stately elegance. In addition, you will find that your mobile is a dynamic work of art that is constantly changing its appearance as it interacts with the light and invisible air currents in your environment. Even the number of people in a room and their movement will have an affect on the motion of your mobile. A hanging mobile is truly a “living sculpture” that shares your space and interacts with you. Many people find mobiles to be a relaxing influence in their environment and enjoy focusing on one during meditation. One thing is for sure, it is impossible to look at a mobile and not feel a little happier! Caring for your hanging mobile These mobiles are original hand-made museum-quality kinetic sculptures that are carefully constructed of durable materials to last a lifetime. Each mobile ships with hanging hardware and assembly instructions (if required). These are lightweight sculptures that are designed for indoor use only. A simple eye-screw (provided) in a drywall (sheetrock) ceiling is sufficient for a hanging point, and high-strength UV resistant clear hanging line with a swivel attachment is included in each order. After you’ve installed the mobile, a simple periodic cleaning twice a year with a feather duster is all that is required to keep it looking sharp. Each mobile is unconditionally guaranteed for life, so if you ever damage it or have a problem with it, please contact me for instructions on making a return. |
