Photos of a large custom mobile I installed in Texas last week

Photos of a large custom mobile I installed in a lobby at a commercial real estate company in Houston, Texas last week:

The shapes of the “paddles” are inspired by Alexander Calder‘s mobiles. Here with a Barcelona Chair designed by Mies van der Rohe:

The custom design is based on proposals I previously posted on my blog here. The custom colors for the mobile are based on the circular rug in the lobby.

Measuring 12 feet (3 1/2 meters) in height and 10 feet (3 meters) in diameter, made of steel, rivets, primer and paint. The mobile weighs about 15 pounds (7 kilograms).

Email from the project manager/designer: “Thanks again for all the care and time you took creating the beautiful mobile. I got a text from the client today that it “looks fantastic!” – he is very pleased.”
