Flensted Puffing Troll Teak Mobile
Christian Flensted was a wonderful storyteller and in 1977 one of his stories turned into a mobile. The puffing trolls were wonderful little creatures that lived in the woods and attics around our yellow school and troll-puffing was said to be extremely beneficial: “Puffing at trolls when feeling sad, lessens pain and makes you glad”. But Puffing Trolls were very shy and therefore hard to find, except for one of them: The one with the long tail and a golden ring in its ear.
Christian Flensted had a meeting with this particular Puffing Troll and was allowed to make a mobile so that people all around the world would benefit from its magical powers.
You can find more information in the little booklet (in Danish, English, German and French) included in the Puffing Troll box.

Christian and Grethe Flensted created the first Flensted mobile to honor their daughter’s birth in 1953. Before, Danish mobiles were seen as a traditional craft. Their inaugural creation, the stork mobile, captured hearts worldwide. Christian Flensted's vision and Grethe's creative flair laid the foundation for a brand that transcends mere decoration, becoming timeless pieces of kinetic art.
Flensted Mobiles are captivating in their movements and ability to infuse any space with a sense of whimsy and sophistication. Christian Flensted was known as the "Uromager," a Danish term loosely translated as a “maker of mischief,” stemming from his knack for crafting captivating creations in perpetual motion. Flensted Mobiles' hallmark lies in their intricate designs, meticulously engineered to maintain a harmonious equilibrium while each element dances gracefully, epitomizing the essence of Danish craftsmanship.
