Crafted from recycled cement paper in the artistic city of Jacmel, these whimsical mobiles are handmade by Blaise Emilien and the artisan team he leads. Each piece is shaped, assembled, and hand-painted with incredible detail — turning discarded material into joyful kinetic art.
We don’t normally restock these, and originally paused carrying them. But when a large festival order was cancelled, Blaise was left with over 100 beautifully crafted mobiles and nowhere for them to go. We’re offering this one-time restock to support his studio and ensure these pieces find a home.
Choose from three styles:
Colorful
White
Fish
We cannot accommodate specific color or pattern requests — each piece is one-of-a-kind.
