Scandinavian Swans Mobile (moves on its own!)
Part of the Danish traditional craft of mobile-making, Flensted mobiles are magical creations which can be used to decorate your childrens’ bedrooms with imagination and harmony. The “Lady Bird” mobile features four sweet little ladybirds, insects who are loved all over the world as they are known to bring good luck! This mobile is semi-assembled (already mounted on strings) and can be put together easily by means of a simple “click”. Flensted mobiles are designed to provide babies with visual stimulation; they move gracefully, without stopping, even in environments where there is very little moving air. This promotes a feeling of peace and tranquility -makes a wonderful gift, one parents will be grateful for! Already recognized as works of art by 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: 4 semi-assembled ladybirds

- Design: Frede Fabek/Aase 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
