Original 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.

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!
