A curated collection of our designs is available. These instruments of the wind are a symbiosis between art and engineering.
On display, each kite we make is an archival sculpture. In flight, they offer a sensory connection to the invisible.
Our connective technologies, and fabrication methods have all evolved here and are unique to our work.
Lonely Bird — by Ruth Whiting
Lonely Bird, by Ruth Whiting, is a richly illustrated series about the triumphs and challenges of creativity. Our charismatic heroine exists just on the edge of our world. She is a tiny bird with the ability to melt into images, and turn household scraps into works of art. She is an accomplished artist who is always watching and thinking. That is, until she starts making and goes on an adventure.
To all our customers, Thank you.
