Modern Minimalist Desktop Cross Designs

Our goal is to hand craft an esthetic new look for this Christian symbol of sacrifice and joy.

"FORGED"

A Cross for men shaped
by pressure and heat.

This cross for men is a very masculine design. It resembles a piece of steel that has been forged under extreme heat and pressure and then weathered by the elements. It rests on a platform of carbon steel supported by structural fasteners creating a very industrial look.

"LIFE"

A Cross for women protecting
the child within.

This cross makes a very prolife statement. It is designed for the outter cross to represent the mother and the inner cross the child. It is made from a special blend of stone and ciluca Sand which are exposed on the surface to resemble more of a rock look. A feminine shape with a rugged texture.

""Radiance"

A Cross for those who sees
the good in everything.

This cross is a collection of multiple crosses radiating outward like the rays of the sun until it culminates into one simple symbol of Christian joy. This cross symbolizes the many crosses one has to bear to achieve radiance. This one also has a very masculine, industrial and weathered look supported by a carbon steel platform.

Falling Upward Designs hand crafts each cross in Auburn, Indiana. Each cross is named to highlight a quality or feature that is an inherent part of the person receiving the gift. The giver is not only buying a product but is acknowledging a particular ATTRIBUTE. Each cross comes with a hang tag that names the cross and displays the attribute. The cross is then put into a white gift box with black tissue wrap.

Each cross measures approximately 7" tall, 5 1/2" wide and 2 1/4" deep and weighs 3.5 lbs. Cork pads on installed on the bases for protection. The "Forged" and "Radiance" sets on a carbon steel platform with structural fasteners. These crosses are for interior display only.

About

Our Labor

At Falling Upward Designs we hand shape every keepsake at our studio/shop in Auburn, Indiana. We take simple common materials and combine them with our creativity and labor to craft a piece of art that we hope others will appreciate.

Philosophically speaking, taking nothing, and turning it into something, is the essence of what we do. We are constantly developing new designs so keep in contact.

Our Mission Statement

Falling Upward Designs is an American, Christian, Capitalist endeavor whose mission is to transform an old historical symbol into a more modern image. Our goal is to hand craft an aesthetic new look for this foundational artifact that has motivated millions for centuries. We hope these new Crosses will motivate the customer to openly display them in public and feel good about gifting them to others. We hope that in a small way they may fuel a rebirth in faith. By donating $2.00 to the Women's Care Center (Northeast Indiana) for every cross sold, we hope to, again in a small way, help promote Life.
