Collection: Corie Humble

Corie Humble, a veteran accessories designer, thought she was embarking on a new sideline in jewelry design when she signed up for a class in Austin, Texas, where she lives. She found, though, that her mind kept moving to larger shapes — and instead of creating jewelry, she soon discovered she was, in fact, a designer of striking, geometric mobiles. “This scale is something I really enjoy,” says Humble. “The first one looked a little wonky, but it was still really cool, and I got a little bit obsessed and kept making them.” For Bloomist, Humble has integrated air plants into her mobiles, a literal balancing act that forced her to experiment with new approaches to how her mobiles bear the plants’ unpredictable weights. “It changed the way I construct the mobiles,” she says. “But I have one in my room with air plants now, and it’s amazing. They just have this feeling of ahh — the materials are so warm, and they just feel good.”
