I am crazy about Japanese design because when it’s good, it’s amazing. And this paper bird mobile is a stunning example. For all it’s white simplicity, it radiates dizzying levels of beauty and calmness. Of course you could add your own little touch by colouring it in but I think I like it just as it is. Designed by Yoko Noguchi, the birds can be hung up individually or you can hang all 3 together. I can’t think of a sweeter mobile for a newborn baby. This paper bird mobile comes from a store called Upon a Fold and costs AUD 26.95 with international shipping from AUD 6.20. Just so you know, once you visit Upon a Fold, you may not be able to leave. They sell the cutest, most delicious little paper goodies that are truly irresistible.
If you like your paper mobiles as much as I do, have a look at this swan bird mobile. It’s hard to believe you can make something so majestic from paper. Or if you want a decorate it yourself project for your toddler, check out this cute cardboard bird mobile. It’s even got clouds to keep the birds company!

So beautiful they look like wedding decorations…perfection.
The Japanese just so get design. I’m crazy for their stuff.
