"Turning Leaves" Mobile

This mobile is ideal for
people who feel trapped
in the big city. If you
don't have time to go for
a walk in the
countryside, hang
this mobile made of leave
shaped pieces on your
ceiling. Look at it and
relax, imagine you're
in the middle of a
lush forest. It's not
quite the same, but at
least you'll manage to
forget that you're
trapped in a 40 square
meter apartment for a
while. It's composed of
10 leaves; 5 white and
5 black and one small
red ball made of wood.
Although the pieces
move independently, they
are assembled together
using some transparent
wires so that the
components are in
constant motion,
while the structure
maintains a harmonic
balance. Made up of 11
pieces: 5 black leaves,
5 white leaves and 1 red
ball Size: 80 x 30 cm /
32 x 12 inches Materials:
Plastic and
wood Designer's
Bio Mobiles are a
traditional craft in
Denmark. For years,
they've been created by
hand. However, it was
Christian Flensted
who created the first
modern mobiles for use in
decorating homes and
offices. He and his wife
Grethe have been
designing mobiles since
1954. Their first
design, a mobile called
Stork, was a huge
success and has been used
to decorate homes all
over the world. Christian
Flensted is known as the
Uromager, a word
that's impossible to
translate into English,
which means "maker of
things mischievous and
always on the
move." Today, their
son Ole and his wife
Aase are carrying on
the family tradition of
making
mobiles. Flensted
Mobiles creates
mobiles in different
styles and each one is
built and put together by
expert hands that are
skilled at making these
pieces.

"Science Fiction" Mobile

The "Science Fiction"
mobile was first produced
in 1956 and its simple
yet provocative design
has made it one of the
most popular Flensted
mobiles. It is made up
of 6 black circles
and 1 small red ball in
the middle. Although the
pieces move
independently, they are
assembled together using
some transparent
wires so that the
components are in
constant motion,
while the structure
maintains a harmonic
balance. We recommend
that you hang this mobile
in a corner with uniform
color and point a light
at it. The mobile will
create interesting
shadows on the wall
or ceiling thanks to its
moving circles. Use it
to decorate your
living room or
bedroom, or to add a
personal touch to your
office. If you have a
business, you can use it
to make your shop,
office, or waiting room
a little more inviting.
The mobile is
light and is
packed so that you can
hang it as soon as you
take it out of the
box. Composed of 7
pieces: 6 black circles
and 1 little red ball in
the middle Size: 25 x 25
cm / 10 x 10

Glow Brick

Made with a real light
bulb! Glow-in-the-dark
light bulb trapped in a
solid acrylic brick. It
recharges from energy in
natural light during the
day and it glows at
night. Glow-in-the-dark
(*) pigment trapped
inside a real light bulb
(just like the ones you
have at home). Then the
light bulb is encased in
a solid block of Acrylic
resin. The mysterious
optical effect is caused
by light diffracting in
the tiny space between
the glass of the light
bulb and the resin, the
space forms when the
resin shrinks by a tiny
amount during the
production possess. The
polished surface gives a
jewel like quality to the
object. In a darkened
room or at night the Glow
Brick comes to life with
a tranquil and subtle
glow emanating from the
pigment inside the light
bulb. (*)The technical
term for the
glow-in-the-dark is
"photoluminescence" this
is a process in which
energy absorbed by a
substance is released
relatively slowly in the
form of light. A
must-have to help
creating a candlelit
intimate atmosphere for
your romantic evenings
Size: 8.5 x 8.5 x
11cm Green or Blue Light
(depending on your
choice) No need of cables
