Mobiles aren’t just relegated for above a baby’s crib, you know. They’re a great way to add movement and energy to a dull corner/space, and this mobile by Clara von Zweigbergk has enough color to do that job in spades.

Mobiles are an excellent way to take advantage of all that empty space above our heads. Plus, watching a mobile move slowly around is supposed to help you relax, and who doesn’t need that?

When decorating a room, there are so many opportunites to hang something from the ceiling, which helps bring height to a space. I always love finding great candle globes that hang, or beautiful lamp pendants. Sometimes, though, you need something that is just decoration, something so beautiful it doesn’t need an alternative use; simply something that looks good and will fill a void. Artist’s mobiles are usually the answer, and boy am I fawning over this one.

“Fuyuh was designed by Riki Watanabe in 1975. It is a classic Japanese design crafted by hand in a small Japanese workshop. The quality and details of the laminated bamboo are unsurpassed. Fuyuh is a small work of art, suspended in space.”
