Futura - Flensted Mobiles
Futura - Flensted Mobiles
Designed by Ole Flensted
Futura is nothing less than the first mobile Ole Flensted designed, back in 1970. Since then it has turned out that the name Futura had something almost prophetic about it.
“Our mobiles are designed with a passion for making the impossible possible”
-Ole Flensted
The Flensted Mobiles fairy-tale is actually based on two straws and three paper storks. For this was what Christian Flensted cut out and assembled in 1953 when the christening of his daughter, Mette, was going to be celebrated. The result was the stork mobile, which was only conceived of as being a fun, ingenious and personal gift, but ended up as the prelude to Flensted Mobiles.
In 1972, production had increased to such an extent that a new home was needed for production. A former school ‘on the Flensted’s native island of Funen. Funen. This old, historically interesting building is still the home of Flensted Mobiles today, now run by Ole Flensted and his wife, Aase. T.
