The philosophy of Georg Jensen, is to create innovative designs that are both beautiful and functional. Georg Jensen grew up close to forest and lakes just north of Copenhagen. Nature was his core source of inspiration. Symbols of the natural world weave a common thread throughout his designs. The Georg Jensen Silversmithy created some of the most original and epoch-defining jewellery, hollowware and cutlery patterns. Soon, the beauty and quality of his creations caught the eye of the public and his success was assured. The Copenhagen quarters were greatly expanded and before the end of the 1920s, Jensen had opened retail in Berlin (1909), London (1921), and New York (1924). At Georg Jensen’s death in 1935 the smithy was acknowledged as one of the most important silversmithies in the world. The standards and philosophy of the smithy attracted some of the greatest artists. Over the years, numerous design icons – from Henning Koppel, Arne Jacobsen and Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe to Patricia Urquiola, Marc Newson and Zaha Hadid – have partnered with Georg Jensen to help push its boundaries, defy convention, and reimagine what design can be. A tradition kept on after the death of Georg Jensen in 1935 to this very day.
