A $10 magnetic bird that grips your notes. A $55 folded steel shelf for keys and post. A $95 clock whose hands are a martial artist’s limbs. The latest designboom shop drop puts six objects and surfaces on walls, and most of them move.
The drop is sold through the designboom shop, the online store run by designboom. Prices below are the figures the shop lists. The collection ranges from $10 to $95 for objects and from $89 per square meter for murals.
Objects that perch, hang, and turn, including the magnetic wall bird
Mybird, by South Korean studio ilsangisang, is a wall-mounted bird that starts at $10. The studio based the piece on birds associated with luck, happiness, and hope, including the Korean magpie, the bluebird, and the blackbird. Neodymium magnets sit inside each foot, so the bird clips onto metal wall plates, appliances, or hardware.
The bird’s head-turned pose suits small loads. It can hold notes, plant clippings, or delicate chimes.
The V / envelope and key holder, from Chihong, costs $55. It is folded from steel into a crisp, minimal unit that mounts cleanly against the wall. It cradles envelopes and keeps keys organized without visual clutter.
The DIY ‘oh-mobile’ kit from ilsangisang starts at $20. Each edition uses lightweight paper motifs, stainless steel wire, and thread. The four named editions are bedtime, a windy day, the conductor, and way to work. The mobiles balance gently on air currents to create dreamlike wall-adjacent motion.
Mobiles that drift on air currents show how kinetic design can turn motion into everyday decor. Kinetic sculptures and how design shapes daily life is worth a look for more moving pieces.
The Kung fu time clock, from whenwatchstudio, starts at $95. A figure in traditional breeches and a vest forms the clock hands. The upper body and head act as the hour hand, one leg as the minute hand, and an extended leg as the second hand. The pose changes with every second.
Murals that cover whole walls
Martina Banozic Textiles produces the Ombre mural in the EU, on premium linen or silk finishes. Both are priced from $89 per square meter, and both are made to custom dimensions.
The Ombre mural shifts gradually from one tone to another. The studio prints it in repeat, so a wide wall reads as one continuous gradient.
The Stone mural is a non-repeating, large-format composition. It reproduces the surface of raw mineral stone without the weight of masonry. Its design is non-repeating, so the pattern does not repeat across the wall.
If the $95 kung fu clock feels like more than you want to spend on a timepiece, Kodo ceramic alarm clock syncing with sunrise offers a quieter, nature-led alternative worth comparing.
The three smallest pieces, from the magnetic wall bird at $10 to the key holder at $55, cost less than one square meter of mural. For a renter or a first purchase, that makes wall objects the lower-risk entry point to the drop. The murals suit a single wall that needs to change the whole room.
