Unique Baby Mobiles for Modern Parents

Mobius mobile by Julie Frith is in all white to accent the white frames and white crib. It will entertain the baby as she/he sleeps and comes awake. The mobile moves with the slightest of air currents, and will calm and dazzle the babies eyes for hours. Make sure to move the mobile up and out of the babies reach as she/he grows older. But don't remove the mobile form the babies room, this is a part of the child's upbringing and your kid will be attached to it forever remembering his childhood as she/he grows up. They can even take their mobile with them to college, then give it to their child etc. Forever art, that will be in the family heirloom for generations to come.


This is an Eliptusmobius mobile by Julie Frith which matches the rooms decor, the bedding in orange, creams, browns, tans and white. Color coordinating the mobile can be so easy. Just tell the artist making the mobile the colors, and she can make a few color mockups for you to choose from.


Stark and clean and modern.

The combination of the Modernist and the Eliptusmobius mobiles work well together. This nursery has two one from their first baby and the second from their latest baby. Each child has their own. As they grow up they will share their room and their art. Make sure to have the art certificates made out to the child's name.

Mobiles for home, office, baby and business. Hang a mobile and watch it turn. They are beautiful and relaxing. Fill your empty high spaces with art. Alexander Calder started this style of art in the early 50's and now his mobiles sell for $10,000!

Best Baby Mobiles 2010

"Eliptusmobius" is 20"w x13"h, has petals for underneath viewing $135. The delicate balanced petals are so beautiful, blowing and watching them move is a wonder. Children that have mobiles near their bed or crib are known to be calmer, sleep better and have a wider imagination than those babies in a blank environment. Stimulation is the key, and a mobile not only activates the child's eyes, but stirs the brain to have more creativity, imagination, possibilities of science, balance and nature.


"Neptune" Foamobile is 26"w x 10"h, lightweight, moves at the slightest wind and very entertaining to a young child's eyes. Great price too $100


"Modernist" mobile is 30"w x 13"h a fantastic mobile for movement, turns from many pivot points to always show various balance configurations. $150

Art for a baby's mind stimulates activity of the eyes and brain, peacefully calming him or her to sleep. An art mobile goes beyond the nursery... right with them to college! A lasting connection from their childhood they will always cherish.


"Bluefish" mobile 20"w x 13"h, a traditional fish design with custom colors to match any room.


"Planets" mobile that does not (or does) have the planet Pluto. 37"w x16"h a glow in the dark mobile that is just fantastic, recommended for ALL ages!

Safety Note: Always hang mobiles out of child's reach.

___________________________________________

These are my top 5 picks for the best baby mobiles of 2010. So many mobiles these days it is very difficult finding the perfect one. I chose to show art mobiles compared to clamp on musical or puffy type mobiles. Those only last for the first year or so. I like to buy items for my child that I know will grow with the kid and that they will enjoy viewing forever. Art becomes a part of the child's room, then as the child grows up not only will they love art, but share with others their upbringing.

Interior Designers Wanted

In order to spread cool ideas around, someone has to start with saying "That is a great idea!". Well, here is a great idea. To all interior designers, when making plans to renovate, update or improve a client's home or business, think of adding a mobile to the upper skylights, in an empty corner, above a stairwell, or out in a garden a large stabile.

Mobiles are great for a spice of something retro. They are fun and colorful, adding movement to a large open space. Petals turn from the natural light that heats the room. A definite necessity to a baby's nursery room. If you are designing a modern bright colored entertainment room, add a mobile!

Feng Shui Balance - Modern Decor

When designing a room for a client... one of the first things you need to ask, is how arty can one get? Designers can go all out, crazy with color, texture, and money... but when your client asks for simple and clean, this is what they should get. Not too many colors, keeping it clear of chaos and menagerie. This is a great example of good clean design. Simple furniture, simplistic colors and elegance. Mobiles adding a repetitive pattern from the carpet design, to the rocks on the tables. Completing the feng shui balance.

A Nice Letter

I just go one of the nicest letters from a customer of mine who just purchase one of my Jujumo medium size mobiles (shown above, custom color #15). Thought I'd share.

Hi Julie,

We received our mobile yesterday and just opened the box this morning. We wanted to let you know that we couldn't be happier with your design, materials and packaging. We order items quite a bit online and are often disappointed in one aspect or another after we receive the product. It was a joy to open your box and see the care that goes into the manufacturing and the packaging. What you have done here is create a cool, well designed, perfectly hand made item that comes packaged the way products should be. We appreciate the details - the small zip-lock bags for your paperwork and hardware, the bubble wrap and the air cushions. You have created a great customer experience from start to finish that designers and art fans will certainly appreciate. If not already, your designs should be advertised in magazines like ID, Dwell, etc.

Thanks for a great experience and we look forward to purchasing another mobile soon.

Office Art

Decorating an office IS a big deal. So many ideas, which colors, which chair, which desk? Now once you have decided that, you might want to go to the next step. Office art. I am presenting these idea of hanging a mobile or a table top stabile to offices of many kinds, from cubicles to home offices, to private business offices, home workstations, to meeting rooms, lunch rooms, to receptionist spaces.
See below ideas that will bring a new light to the area you spend most of your day.










Many styles, and many kinds of offices. Some offices are separtate and large, some are cubicles in a huge room of hundreds of other cubicles. How to make your space individually different from the rest is like painting your house purple in a row of all white houses. It is fun to stand out and be different. Or maybe you need to spuce it up a bit... so add some art! A hanging mobile in a very sterile inviroment is perfect. They are quiet, clean and best of all entertaining to calm you from all your stress at work. Just like babies, adults get tense from new situations they are not used to... a mobile calms a baby, a mobile will calm you, your workers, your boss, your office area, lunch room, meeting room and even at the reception desk. Art in the workplace is a great idea, pass it around see what other employees have to say. I bet they'll say... great idea!
