Christian and Grethe Flensted created the first Flensted mobile to honor their daughter’s birth in 1953. Before, Danish mobiles were seen as a traditional craft. Their inaugural creation, the stork mobile, captured hearts worldwide. Christian Flensted's vision and Grethe's creative flair laid the foundation for a brand that transcends mere decoration, becoming timeless pieces of kinetic art.
Flensted Mobiles are captivating in their movements and ability to infuse any space with a sense of whimsy and sophistication. Christian Flensted was known as the "Uromager," a Danish term loosely translated as a “maker of mischief,” stemming from his knack for crafting captivating creations in perpetual motion. Flensted Mobiles' hallmark lies in their intricate designs, meticulously engineered to maintain a harmonious equilibrium while each element dances gracefully, epitomizing the essence of Danish craftsmanship.
