Flensted Hanging Art – Timeless Danish Design Since 1953
Flensted Hanging Art is a distinguished Danish design brand, renowned for its handcrafted mobiles that have embodied Scandinavian artistry and craftsmanship since 1953. Founded by Christian Flensted and developed alongside his wife, Grethe, the brand has built a legacy of aesthetic, timeless designs that create serene and lasting memories for generations.
Each Flensted mobile is meticulously handmade on the island of Funen, Denmark, by skilled local artisans, preserving the same production methods established over 70 years ago.
