The Illuminist

Hello, I'm James aka The Illuminist. Welcome to my exclusive collection of Calder inspired Kinetic Mobile Sculptures, available for your admiration, customisation and acquisition! Each and every Hanging Mobile Art piece has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted by yours truly, using only the highest quality materials and utmost attention to detail. My extraordinary collection of Hanging Mobile Art, which are not only aesthetically beautiful but also serve a range of practical purposes. These unique sculptures are not just art for art's sake, but are also versatile and functional moving pieces that can enhance various spaces. I'm here for all projects, from Nursey Mobiles to Giant Adult Mobiles, I craft hanging mobiles for any project big or small.

Orbit Kinetic Mobile Art

Every single piece is handcrafted under my own roof, where I pour my heart and soul into each creation. My clients are more than just customers - they become a part of my personal journey, and I am always excited to take on commissions to bring their ideas to life.

My medium of choice is responsibly sourced birch plywood, a beautiful and sustainable material that highlights the natural markings of each piece, making them truly one-of-a-kind. And when it comes to movement and colour, My Kinetic Mobile Sculpture Orbit has taken the world by storm, bringing mesmerizing motion and brilliant hues to homes and workspaces alike.

Emotive Art

These hanging mobile sculptures are perfect for a baby or nursery mobile, where their gentle movements and captivating designs can soothe and entertain your little one. Hanging mobiles are also ideal for a stairwell or feature window, where their graceful movements and dynamic shadows can add a touch of elegance to any space.

In addition, my kinetic mobile sculptures are also a fantastic addition to any modern office or workspace, where they can help to inspire creativity and provide a calming visual distraction during moments of stress or concentration.

    Bought as a present although I was tempted to keep it! Beautifully finished and crafted. I chose a soft colourway for a child’s bedroom. The design was much better than other mobiles on the market and hand crafted.

    James went above and beyond to make my mobile exactly in the colourway I wanted, his communication was brilliant and kept me in the loop for when I’d receive it. What I wasn’t expecting was the finishing touches on the packaging which shows how much pride, care and passion for what James does really goes into every aspect of his design process. Thank you so much, It’s already received many compliments!
