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.

I love Flensted mobiles. I bought my first one in Germany and was happy to find them here in the US on Amazon.

Mobiles are underrated!Added this above my computer desk and it nicely ties the room together with its subtle bit of gently active art happening overhead - a great addition to my decor!

Flensted Mobile's are my current obsession. They look so amazing suspeded in air and they have so many clever designes. Don't be fooled - they dont come ready to hang on a crib and such, but they hang easily from a tack in the ceiling. This one keeps my son quite entertained.

This mobile is so cheaply made with the thinnest thread I have ever seen. The thread being so thin of course gets all tangled. Not only does this company want you to pay the postage to return this-they takea20% stocking fee. Which by the way is not mentioned on their website.

It comes with string, you can decide on length that you prefer. It was easy setting up. To me, this is delicate moblie. Yes, it seems a bit expensive... but, worth it-- for my dad.I am leaning towards another mobile for him.... maybe the hot air balloon mobile. Hoping for a sale on it!!I purchased this mobile, for my father. I hope it gives him some enjoyment and, or visual stimulation, while laying in bed. He is in a Nursing home.

Ich habe bereits Mobile von Flensted Mobiles und bin auch hier bin wieder nicht enttäuscht worden.Die Verpackung erweckt schon Vorfreude, der Aufhänger erlaubt eine individuelle Länge der Schnur. Das alleine mag ich schon bei den Mobiles von Flensted.Das Mobile selbst: traumhaft. Mag sein, dass man erst mal denkt: toll, Kugel mit 5 Kreisen drum, wie langweilig. Aber wenn es dann hängt und sich anfängt zu drehen entwickelt es seinen vollen Charme.Wer Spaß an bewegten Sachen mit optischen Effekten hat, dürfte auch dieses Mobile mögen.

J’ai reçu mon mobile avec les anneaux tordus. De plus, il y’a aucune système d’accroche. L’objet est joli mais trop fragile.

Good looking mobile. Would be more robust in metal but also much more expensive
