The Golden Planet
$169.00
The First Thing He Will Ever Study
A newborn can focus on very little — maybe eight inches, maybe a foot. For the first months, the world is mostly soft shapes and light. Whatever hangs above the crib becomes one of the first objects a person ever looks at properly, day after day, while everything else is still a blur.
That felt worth making well.
Twelve Hours, One Needle
Someone sits down with a barbed needle and a pile of loose wool, and stabs it. Thousands of times. Slowly the fibres tangle and compress until a small figure has legs, then a face, then a long scarf caught mid-air behind him. It takes about twelve hours for one mobile.
No molds, no machinery, no two identical. The fox’s ears sit at a slightly different tilt on every one. We can only finish a few each week, which is why yours is made after you order it rather than pulled off a shelf.
What Hangs From the Hoop
- The traveller — Sitting on his own small planet, scarf blown sideways, going nowhere in particular.
- A fox — Rust orange with a white chest, sitting patiently, tail curled around.
- A baobab tree — Trunk wide, canopy flat, small enough to hold in a hand.
- A crescent moon and three stars — Two golden, one cream, felted with visible texture.
- A grey asteroid — Cratered by hand, threaded between wool felt spheres in indigo, moss and gold.
Everything moves independently in the smallest draft. There is no motor and no music — just weight, balance, and the air in the room.
Nothing You Wouldn’t Want Above a Sleeping Baby
100% New Zealand wool, dyed with non-toxic, skin-safe colours. The hoop is solid beechwood, sanded and left untreated — no lacquer, no varnish, nothing that yellows or off-gasses. No plastic anywhere. No glue holding it together.
