Shameless adult fun!

Who said that colourful and playful mobiles are for kids only? I came across these bubbly beauties while hungrily researching blog material via Pinterest where they simply jumped out at me so excitedly that I just had to know more! To my sheer joy I discovered that these vivacious and delectable beauties are handmade in Australia by designer Nina Still, creator of her own online shop Puka Puka, a quirky and catchy name coming from the Japanese expression meaning 'something floating gently in space'. Below is just a little taste of Nina Still's work, more about her work and online shop can be found on her site

I find that the mobiles' little building blocks of fun embody a sense of playfulness while at the same time exuding an air of timidness. The colours are bold, fresh and bright, but despite this, when poised in a furnished interior, the designs work in soft harmony with the other tones and accents in the room. The gentleness of their scale and the softness of form allow for these pieces to have a definite presence while humbly shying away from the foreground.
