Here’s the mobile we made for the private residence in Brazil, hanging in our shop. It’s all crated up and en route to Los Angeles, where it will then join the the owner’s other belongings for its journey to Brazil. It may be awhile before we see pictures of this hanging in its final home, but we sure can’t wait to see them!

Pre-Fab #2 and New Shop Space
Here’s a Pre-Fab #2 Mobile we just finished up for a hospital, and in the background you can get a feel for a portion of our new shop space. It’s part of a historic building in Portland’s Pearl District. The building, built in 1887, was originally a rope factory. It has since housed a brewery, dance studio, trendy restaurant, law offices, closet company, and lots more. We’re enjoying the new location, great lighting, and all the space!
And for those of you judging all that clutter, just Google “Calder studio.” ;)
