Christian Flensted for Flensted Mobile Christian Flensted, in 1953 in Denmark, conceived of their signature stork mobile as a fun, clever, and personal present to honor the christening of his daughter Mette. Little could he have known that this simple craft, consisting of two straws and three paper storks, would lead to the founding of Flensted Mobiles--which retains the stork mobile in its catalogue to this day.
