Mobiles aren't just for dangling above cribs to entertain tots. When they're delicately laser-cut and hand-folded from old roadmaps, they're very much grown-up.

The hanging mobiles by Vancouver design duo Contexture, award-winning no less, tell a story too. “As the Crow Flies” (pictured) depicts a family of crows coming back to their communal rookery, as they do every night, and “Redfish” shows a school of salmon returning to the river where they were born.

It's nature and nurture.
