We try not to play favorites, but we will NEVER complain about an installation that takes us to Hawaii. For this one, we installed a series of 60 mobiles in the brand-new flagship Tori Richard clothing store on Waikiki’s main strip.
The mobiles cover a 30-foot space, swirling beneath the entryway’s skylight and trailing into the retail area. For the shapes, we used a combination of mango wood (a wood native to Hawaii) and an acrylic with a shoji paper finish. Each shape was installed onto a small bearing that allows the shapes to gently rock back and forth, mimicking the nearby ocean waves.
If you’re in Honolulu, be sure to check it out (and admire—or treat yo’self to—all that beautiful Tori Richard apparel)!
