In 1904 the Danish silversmith Georg Jensen founded his first modest
silver smithy in the heart of Copenhagen. Thirty years later, he had
made an international name for himself. When he died in 1935, the New
York Herald Tribune saluted him as "the greatest silversmith of the last
300 years."
Georg Jensen was unique among silversmiths because
he was as devoted to art as he was to craftsmanship. He had intimate
knowledge of materials and brought this experience to bear on all of his
designs.
One of the most important parts of his legacy was that
he was not satisfied just to realize his own talent. He went a step
further and created a tradition, an inspiring and demanding framework
for creative artists and proud craftsmen. Today, Georg Jensen
encompasses more than just the man; the name is now a concept synonymous
with excellent Danish design throughout the world.
In his early
years, Jensen was heavily influenced by Art Nouveau style. He made it
his own, though, by combining the sculptor's strong, free lines with the
silversmith's intuitive feel for the material. His works are
characterized by his fertile, creative imagination, and his capacity to
innovate new styles. It has been said of Georg Jensen that "he never
followed fashion, he created it."
Following an exhibition at the
Danish Museum of Decorative Arts in Autumn of 1904, Georg Jensen designs
became fast favourites of Copenhagen's high society. As time went by he
surrounded himself with a staff of talented colleagues, laying the
foundation for a definite artistic and artisan morale.
Beginning
in 1912, Danish expansion of the studio was underway. In 1917, Jensen
built workshop large enough to hold hundreds of employees. By the time
he had died in 1935, Georg Jensen was an international design house
where inspired artisans were encouraged to carry on the tradition of
mixing expert craftsmanship with forward-thinking design.
