New mobiles from Flensted

Monday, January 28th, 2008

We are really big fans of Flensted Mobiles. We have a couple of their mobiles hanging in our house. We’ve added 15 new mobiles from Flensted. Here are 3 of our favorites:

Hedgehog Family Post Card Mobile Seahorse Blue

Here’s a little lesser known fact about Flensted Mobiles:

“Flensted Mobiles are produced in a very low carbon manner: Let me explain, instead of 75 workers every day drive into the factory and assemble mobiles, they work from their homes. Every 14 day we drive on 1 trip visiting all workers exchange unassembled parts for mobiles packaged and ready to ship. We save 75 x 10 days of driving every 2 weeks or approximately 200 days a year for each employee. Let’s say each live 5 miles from work they get 20 miles to the gallon it will then come out to saving 7500 gallons of gas a year. We have been doing this for over 30 years.”
