Georg Jensen, considered one of Denmark’s most famous and influential design brands is a international Company but started off as one man, Georg Jensen Himself.

He was born in 1866 in Radvaad, a small town north of Copenhagen. He began training as a goldsmith at 14, also studied sculpture and applied arts and then trained with a master silversmith. In 1904, he decided to open his own silversmith business.

As the business grew, he employed silversmiths to do the smithing while he concentrated on drawing, designing and business. This trend continues right up to the modern day with the company working with world renowned artists, jewellers and architects to create inspiring and unusual designs.

Georg Jensen died in 1935, but this Iconic brand goes from strength to strength.
