Georg Jensen

Georg Jensen was born in Denmark in 1866. He studied at the Danish Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where he graduated in 1892. In 1901 he began working as a silversmith and designer with Danish master Mogens Ballin. Only three years later, Jensen opened his own firm in Copenhagen.

In 1907 Jensen began working with sculptor Johan Rohde, and the partnership led to a flowering of design activity, with many pieces produced to this day.
