Collecting Kinetic Art — Kinetic Wall Art for the Home by BREAKFAST

A guide from BREAKFAST

Collecting Kinetic Art

Kinetic art is art that moves. Collectors live with BREAKFAST's pieces at home the way they would a painting, except this one changes through the day.

This page covers what the pieces are like to own, what sizes they come in, and how to buy one.

Crystal Cove Wind (2023) — a kinetic wall piece that moves with live wind.

Living with a piece

A piece hangs on the wall and moves on its own. Most are tied to something real, such as the wind in a place you choose or the people in the room.

Many are interactive. Walk up and the piece picks up your outline and moves with you.

Sizes and editions

Works for homes run from about 16 inches to 6 feet. A home-scale piece is a full working artwork with the same electronics as the large installations.

The catalog shows what is available now, with sizes and prices.

Making it yours

Many pieces can be set to a place that matters to you: the wind over a home town, a coastline, a river. You can also commission a piece in a size and finish made for your wall.

How buying works

Find a piece in the catalog and reserve it with a $500 hold, or send an inquiry and BREAKFAST's team will help you choose. The studio supports every piece after it is installed.
