Flensted HCA Cut Moon Man Mobile
The title of this simple yet beautiful moon figure is from one of the poet’s vaudevilles “Love at Nicolai Taarn”. On the cutout is written “Casta Diva!”, which stems from the main aria in Bellini’s opera “Norma”. The original cutout exists in one of the picture books for Agnete Lind (Daughter of Louise Lind, born Collin).
As silhouette cutter Hans Christian Andersen is the life of the party, and the celebrated guest of the gentry and the intellectuals of his days.

Mobiles are a traditional craft in Denmark, but the modern mobile - as a decoration for the home - was created in 1953 by Christian Flensted and his wife Grethe to celebrate the birth of their first daughter. Their first design, the stork mobile, was a great success, and now flies all over the world. Christian Flensted became known as the "Uromager", a name impossible to translate into English, which means a "maker of mischievous things that are always on the move". Flensted Mobiles are designed that the elements are in constant motion while the entire mobile maintains a harmonic balance.
