Roundup: Flensted Mobiles

February 11, 2008

Flensted Mobiles are crafted on the island of Funen in Denmark, where Hans Christian Andersen was born. This family business designs and makes its mobiles at "Frederiksminde" the old village school at Brenderup. 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, balanced by skillful hands, and packed so that they are ready to hang.While these mobiles would look lovely in a baby's nursery, I can see their playful aesthetic working in a number of grown-up love shack interiors.

i have some hangy paper things from denmark that my mom brought back and they are pretty nice. the ones we have are a ship and a garden and some others. each item is a separate cut-out and they are each arranged and stacked and glued into place to make the scene or animal or whatever it is. they are really intricate and cool. it looks like that's what these mobiles are made of.
