Flensted HCA Cut PalmAngels Mobile
This is derived from a motif showing two angels under a palm tree to Julie Sødring (1823-94), an actress at the Royal Copenhagen Theatre. In her book ”Hans Christian Andersen, and his intimate Circle”, Baroness Rigmor Stampe writes about the cut-outs as follows:
”While Hans Christian Andersen sat and told stories, he folded a piece of paper, let his scissors wind in and out, unfolded the paper, and – lo and behold – the figures appeared. These figures often resembled each other, but were still unique. Here, as in his fairy tales, he used a certain range of motifs which he constantly repeated. These were castles, swans, pixies, angels, cupids and other imaginary figures”.

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.
