Mobiles are a traditional craft in Denmark, but the modern mobile was created in 1954 by Christian Flensted and his wife Grethe. 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 skillful hands. They are packed fully assembled in boxes or envelopes so that they are ready to hang.
The first mobile designed by Ole Flensted in 1970. The six bars create a dynamic tension between light and heavy counterpoints. Six planets with their moons? Or a symbol of the light and dark sides of our personalities?
