Balloons Mobile by Flensted

The Flensted Balloons Mobile is inspired by Montgolfières of the 18th century and modern hot air balloons. A plate showing famous balloons, beginning with the first Montgolfiere from 1783 and ending with "Double Eagle II" from 1978 is enclosed. Material: Cardboard. Overall dimensions: 19.75" x 25.5". Assembled and ready to be enjoyed. Mobiles are a traditional craft in Denmark, but the modern Danish mobile - as a decoration for the home - was created in 1954 by Christian Flensted and his wife Grethe to celebrate the birth of their first daughter. Flensted Mobiles are hand made in Denmark and are so designed that the elements are in constant motion while the entire mobile maintains a harmonic balance. Today, Christian and Grethe´s son, Ole and his wife Aase continue the family tradition, with ideas for new and original mobiles.
