I have wanted to carry Flensted Mobiles for a while now, but wasn’t ready to introduce mobiles into my store yet. Finally, I am and am so thrilled to have them here.

Mobiles are a traditional craft in Denmark, but the modern mobile – as a decoration for the home – was created in 1954 by Christian Flensted and his wife Grethe. Their first design, the Stork mobile, was a great success, and now flies all over the world.

Christian Flensted became known as the “Uromager”, a name impossible to translate into English, which means a “maker of things mischievous and always on the move”.

Today, their son Ole and his wife Aase continue the tradition, with ideas for new and original mobiles issuing regularly from their “Department of Space Research”.

Flensted Mobiles are created so that the elements are in constant motion while the entire mobile maintains a harmonic balance. Each mobile is carefully assembled, and balanced by skilful hands. They are packed so that they are ready to hang.
