Mobile de coquillages - 80 cm
Shell Mobile — 80 cm
This wind-activated sound object combines translucent Capiz shell discs with a wooden frame to produce soft, delicate tones when air passes through it. Eleven strands of shell platelets hang from a wooden support, each catching light and contributing to a gentle, ambient soundscape characteristic of traditional shell wind chimes.
Materials and Sustainable Production
The shell platelets are made from Capiz—the transparent shell of the windowpane oyster. Demand for intact Capiz shells has grown significantly in recent years, placing pressure on wild populations. This mobile addresses that concern by using pressed and shaped fragments and manufacturing waste rather than harvesting whole shells. The production method preserves the acoustic and visual qualities of the material without compromising ecological sustainability.
Sound and Placement
The approximately 5 cm round shell discs respond to air movement, producing a soft, tinkling sound. The mobile performs best in spaces where natural air circulation is consistent—near windows, along corridors, or suspended on covered porches. Indoor placement near sources of gentle air movement yields the most responsive performance.
What's Included
The mobile arrives complete and ready to hang. No assembly or tuning is required.
This object belongs to the tradition of wind chimes found throughout Southeast Asia, where natural materials and responsive design create ambient sound in domestic and semi-outdoor spaces.
