Your cart is empty. How can I clean my mobile?
Mobiles made of cardboard should only be dusted with a soft brush. Mobiles made of wood, aluminium or plastic can be wiped with a moist cloth with a few drops of mild dishwashing detergent.
How long can my Mobile last?
One person called us and said that they had inherited a Science Fiction Mobile from her grandmother who had had it for 30 years! In our home we have had the same mobile hanging for more than 20 years.
Can my mobile hang outdoors?
No. Since they are very sensitive to the simplest whiff of air hanging them outside is not recommendable.
Will my mobile fade?
In many of our mobiles we use plastic foil. This material is lightproof and easy to clean. Some other mobiles are made of cardboard. Even though we use the highest quality cardboard it will fade over the years. Red colors fade more than blue. You can delay fading by hanging the mobile out of direct sunlight.
When hanging your mobile, try it in different places and bear in mind the following suggestions:
1. The mobile is designed to be a pleasure to the eye and a stimulus to the imagination. Hang out of reach of children. It is not a toy.
2. Hang it away from direct sunlight to avoid the colors fading and the shapes distorting.
3. Hang it where there is some movement of air but no strong draft. A slow, quiet movement is the essence of the mobile. Do not hang it outdoors.
4. Where practical, hang the mobile where it has a subdued, uniform background. A corner position against light-colored walls is often the best location.
5. If possible, hang it in the light from a lamp. The shadow that the mobile casts onto a wall or ceiling will give the mobile yet another dimension. A candle is a concentrated light source which will produce distinct, well-defined shadows.
6. Hang the mobile where you can watch it while listening to music. You will see the mobile move to the rhythm of the music.

Decora muy bien el espacio donde lo tengo.....es algo costoso para el material ....espero que no se fade con la luz del sol que le llega indirectamente

We had misread the size as inches instead of centimetres, so we were expecting a much larger piece - so it really didn't suit the space we're looking to use it in. However when we brought this up with the company they promptly agreed to take it back, so we're quite happy at that outcome - even though we did have to pay for the return postage.It is really beautiful and colourful - it's just too small for our needs.

Lovely, exactly as expected. I owned several Flensted mobiles in the dim dark distant past, and was happy to find them again. Exactly what I needed for my weird design aesthetic.

Simple materials create an object to admire from the air. Very light and packaged tastefully. Since these were made in accordance with input from the Museum of Bauhaus school of art they are in direct content of design. Very artfully done. Had to slightly balance it down after initial assembly. The wooden shafts and strings are already attached to rubber o-rings. You may assemble the plastic card shapes in any configuration, which are then fastened by another set of o-rings. For the true mod family or art buff.
