Founded in 2005 by Brian Schmitt, Adrift strives to produce mobiles that add a captivating, yet quiet personality to an environment. All of the mobiles are designed and carefully crafted by Brian in his workshop in San Francisco's SOMA district. These mobiles showcase Brian's minimalist aesthetic, craftsmanship and interest in sustainable materials. His finesse is revealed during assembly, as each mobile must be individually balanced due to subtle variances in the natural materials.
Adrift, an eager contributor to the growing green economy, focuses on minimizing its environmental footprint by selecting raw materials with sustainable attributes, offsetting its facility through the purchase of renewable energy certificates and using compostable starch packing peanuts or shredded cardboard during shipping.

6. HAVE YOU EVER FELT COMPELLED TO BUY A BILLY MAYS PRODUCT? (YOU KNOW, OXICLEAN, HERCULES HOOKS...) Nope – hopefully I'm not missing out.
7. I'M SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT... I try to filter out such stimuli before it puts me over the edge.

10. WE'RE FISHIN' FOR SOME NEW MUSIC, SO WHAT BAND(S) DO YOU LOVE RIGHT NOW?My first pick is warm, minimal techno with the dial often set to http://deepmix.eu, an excellent streaming radio station from Moscow.
