Bio:
Georg Jensen (1866–1935) was a Danish silversmith and designer and one of the most influential figures in Danish design. He founded the Georg Jensen silversmithy in Copenhagen in 1904. Jensen’s work is celebrated for its organic forms and nature-inspired ornamentation closely associated with the Art Nouveau movement. His workshop quickly gained international recognition for its artistic silverwork, and many of his early twentieth-century flatware patterns are today regarded as classics of Scandinavian design.
