GIVEAWAY: Livingly mobiles by Anni and Bent Knudsen

by Jenny Dalton

FOLLOWING MY LITTLE profile of the newly reissued mobiles of Danish paper designers Anni and Bent Knudsen here at How To Spend It, Livingly - the company behind the Knudsen collection renaissance - have kindly offered two of their mobiles as a giveaway.

Bent Knudsen created his first mobile in 1938, aged just 14. He then trained as a silversmith working for the Georg Jensen company (then known as Hans Hansen), before marrying his wife Anni and together becoming makers of hand-crafted paper mobiles that achieved worldwide fame. The company’s mid-20th-century designs were bought by Livingly in 2008, and we’re very glad they’re back.

The Anni and Bent Knudsen collection can be seen here: www.livingly.dk
