Flensted Mobiles
The Flensted Mobiles company can be briefly defined as a poetry in motion and balance. The company was created in 1953 when Christian Flensted created his first object to celebrate the christening of his baby girl Mette. He cut three storks, mounted them on two straws and creating a stork-toy in no time! And this was just the beginning of an exciting adventure! This object is still produced today, after more than 50 years.

The company was founded about a year later, in 1954. In 1956 Christian Flensted left his previous job in order to be able to completely devote to his new business that produced moving objects and was based in Aalborg. Christian was soon known as "The Agitator", an appropriate nickname for his ability to create movement through simple objects that had the power to cheer up any room.

In 1971, the company had increased its production so much that it became necessary to look for a new facility. And Flensted found the right place for it on the island where he was born, Funen: an island of great beauty where his family created the so-called "Stork's Nest", right in the village of Tommerup, where it remained for almost 20 years. Then the "nest" was moved to a pretty abandoned school named "Frederiksminde", near Brenderup, in a historic building that still is the company's seat.
Since 1982, Christian 's son Ole, along with his wife, continues to have creative ideas to produce original and innovative objects, proudly following the family tradition.

The purpose of the Flensted company is to bring more movement and balance in the world. All its products are made in such a way that each part is in constant motion, creating a fascinating harmony. An object originated by the creativity of Flensted is therefore a perfect and harmonious combination of dedication, love and quality. All products are identified by a unique and unmistakable design and bring to every home a touch of originality that at the same time has a relaxing power.

For the Flensted company the important thing is to seize the moment, to move, but always remembering to have also some relaxing moments. In fact, in the fast-paced world in which we live, we waste a lot of energy trying to meet our needs and fulfill our dreams. But to achieve this, we need to collect their forces and be able to relax: this is the only way we can fully enjoy every moment of our life.

By observing an object by Flensted, one realizes that it is able to provoke different moods, including excitement, pleasure and above all peace of mind, depending on your mood when you look at it. What is certain is that this object has the same relaxing effect of a sunset or the sound of birds singing outside the window. Flensted objects create with simplicity a great inner peace, thanks to their graceful movements that are almost therapeutic and allow you to relax.
The Flensted company's philosophy is therefore the philosophy of movement. In 2014, the Flensted factory celebrated its first 60 years of activity and it is represented in many countries all around the world where it is proud to bring its original Danish design, entirely hand-made, entering the homes of its clients but especially their hearts.

Flensted products are designed to be in constant movement while maintaining a harmonious balance. The process from the idea to the final product, however, takes a long time, as well as the production of individual objects entirely made by hand. For each of them is based not only on an idea, but also on a deep reflection.The process leading to the creation of each object consists of the following steps: design, quality, craftsmanship. But above all, passion. This process takes many hours during which you have inspirations, apply ideas and realize prototypes, all aimed at creating an object with its own form, colours, and especially its history.


All products manufactured by Flensted are created with great care and attention by skilled and experienced personnel, and they are perfectly packed to be intact and ready to hang in your home to spread the philosophy of the movement. To produce its products, the company uses not only a qualified staff, but also of people living on the island of Funen and working from home to create quality items ready to fly all over the world: it is a completely sustainable production which saves over 15 tons per year of fuel and reduces CO2 emissions.

Each suspended object originates from a single point and is hung by a thread: it is composed of different shapes and materials that rotate independently, driven by the weak air currents inside the house. In a room where there is no apparent movement of the air, there are anyway some invisible currents that give life to Flensted objects, so that they are never static. Their balance is the key factor of their movement, but also of their strong visual impact and it allows the single shapes to become a three-dimensional unit made of endless moving parts thanks to the light and space. The objects created by Flensted can almost be described as living beings, such as an aquarium that catches the attention thanks to the calm movements that create serenity in mind and encourage thought and creativity.

Flensted products are created as nice pastimes, games or furnishings for the house. They are hand-made with simple materials such as straw, wire and paper, always with the best materials which guarantee high quality and long life. Flensted products have a tradition of balance with the addition of the high-quality Danish design: basically, innovation, elegance and originality for the house and for modern people.

There is also a legend in Scandinavia about these objects in motion: it is said that if an individual who has bad intentions comes into an environment where there is a hanging object, it immediately ceases to move! So it's a common belief that a Flensted object keeps thieves away from the house. These are also hung by village women on their babies' cribs to protect them from bad luck or to soothe any suffering. Today, the Flensted company is convinced that its products help to eliminate mental tensions of people and to make them relax.
