Style: Niels Bohr Atom Model (#441) Measurements: 10.7" x 10.7" inches (27 x 27 cm) Designer: Mette Host, Clive Ellegaard & Ole Flensted Materials: Stainless Steel & Wood Description: To celebrate the 100 years of the Niels Bohr Atom Model, Flensted, in cooperation with the Niels Bohr Institute of Copenhagen, created this beautiful mobile, which brings an integral moment in scientific history and modern artistic design together to create a unique element for your dwelling. In 1913 Niels Bohr developed his revolutionary model of the atom, from which new information technologies continue to arise, from the transistor radio to quantum computers. A bit about mobiles: Mobiles are designed so that the elements are in constant motion while the entire mobile maintains a harmonic balance. Smaller mobiles must be light to accomplish movement and harmonic balance. About Flensted Christian Flensted first designed the Stork mobile in 1953 which 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". In 1956 Christian Flensted gave up his job to devote his entire effort to the fledgling mobiles business, then based in Aalborg, Jutland. Since then, Flensted has been making its objects in motion. Christian and his wife, Grethe passed on its tradition to their son, Ole and his wife Aase who continue the family tradition near Brenderup, Funen, which is still the FLENSTED MOBILE CENTRE. They continue to develop ideas for new and original mobiles regularly from their "Department of Space Research". Flensted Mobiles are so designed that the elements are in constant motion while the entire mobile maintains a harmonic balance. Creating mobiles is not just their job, it is their life. How Flensted Produces Mobiles Scattered around our island of Funen Denmark, skilled and diligent home-workers are mounting, assembling and packing the mobiles. Every 14 days they get new material for the mobiles - and when they return about a fortnight later, the mobiles are ready to fly - all over the world. Sustainable Production This is how it works – instead of 50 people every day drive into the "factory" and assemble mobiles, they work from their homes. Every 2 weeks Flensted makes one visit to all their workers and exchange unassembled parts for mobiles packaged and ready to ship. Flensted has been doing this for nearly 60 years. This method of producing, saves more than 10 tons of fuel every year. Visit our store!© Covet Modern _gsrx_vers_837 (GS 7.0.15 (837))
