About Georg Jensen –
Georg Jensen (1866-1935) was a silver smith who opened his silversmithy to the public in Copenhagen in 1904. Prior to working with silver, Jensen had completed apprenticeships in goldsmith and sculptor. Always an artist, Jensen then turned to silver and today this is how he is best remembered; for his and his studio’s timeless and innovative silver designs. Jensen himself designed dozens of patterns during his life and also worked with numerous talented silversmiths to bring modern silver designs to the world. After Jensen’s death in 1935, Georg Jensen Silversmithy continued the work of original and innovative design Jensen himself had set out to bring to life. Georg Jensen is still in business today and many of Jensen’s most popular patterns are still in production.
