Pink Piggies Mobile (moves on its own!)
A sweet and amusing mobile to bring happiness and tranquillity to your baby’s bedroom – the “Pink Piggies”, nice, intelligent animals that are favourites with children, move in complete balance and harmony in this mobile which comes all ready to hang up. A long tradition of mobile-makiing in Denmark has been exemplified by the Flensted family business, designers of mobiles that are visually stimulating to newborns, who are able to perceive geometric shapes and movement at close range. They are made of strong, durable but light materials, and maintain perpetual motion, even in an environment in which the air is hardly moving at all! This produces a calm, peaceful atmosphere which every parent will thank you for, if you choose this wonderful invention as a gift! Already recognized as works of artby the most famous museums, and sold in their shops (including the Guggenheim in New York, Bilbao and Venezia; the Tate Gallery in London, and the Musuem of Contemporary Art in Sydney), and now brought to you by Family Nation!
- Theme: 3 coloured piggies
- Colour: Pink
- Material: Cardboard
- Size: 46 x 33 cm
- Design: Ole Flensted. Flensted is a Danish family business started by Christian and Grethe Flensted in l953; his son Ole Flensted took over the running of the business with his wife Aase about 30 years ago.
- Every mobile is assembled by hand by dedicated skilled artisans who work directly from home. This production method protects the environment by saving over 10 tons of fuel a year
- Note: newborns up to the age of 6 months are not yet able to distinguish colours, and small children do not necessarily notice details that adults might find amusing. They can see and enjoy geometric shapes and boldly contrasting lines much better, especially if they are moving. Flensted emphasize shape and movement in the design of their mobiles for babies and young children based on this knowledge
