What are hanging mobiles?

Hanging mobiles are artistic sculptures that consist of balanced elements suspended from a central point, allowing them to move freely with air currents. Often made from materials like wood, metal, or plastic, these mobiles can vary in size and design, creating dynamic visual displays. They are commonly used as decorative pieces in homes, nurseries, and art installations, providing both aesthetic appeal and a sense of movement. The concept of mobiles was popularized by artist Alexander Calder in the early 20th century.
