The Signature Kites look like something out of a crafty and kitschy workshop. A stunning creation to say the least, The Signature Kites are designed by Haptic Lab, a Brooklyn-based team of craft artisans.
The handmade wind instrument is made out of locally-sourced bamboo, patterned bohemian nylon and removable hardwood spars that give the kite structure. Each kite is one-of-a-kind, which makes it extra special, and features Haptic Lab’s signature ten-foot-long patchwork kite tail.
So if you want to spend the perfect sunny day -- keep in mind it needs to be windy as well -- with your family or friends in the park, make sure you bring along the kite for some childish fun.
The kite would also look amazing as colorful decoration for any wallspace if you want to give it some flair.
