The name Georg Jensen has been synonymous with 20th century Scandinavian design almost
since the young Danish silversmith opened the eponymous silversmiths’ atelier and retail
shop in Copenhagen in 1904. Jensen’s first ambition was as a sculptor but, unable to make a
living in that field, he turned to silver, designing jewelry, tablewares and serving pieces to
which he brought the sculptor’s understanding of volume and three-dimensional modeling.
