Beautiful legacy
With a history that spans more than 100 years, Georg Jensen is the lifestyle brand that whispers aesthetic design, creativity and the highest craftsmanship. The philosophy of Jensen himself is palpable. Democratic designs that not only showcase an innate functionality but also exude beauty and it is this edict that helped him to identify and support design talent, when he launched in Copenhagen in 1904. At the time, his style embraced Art Nouveau lines of the day, but embraced them with a distinctive energy that has lasted the test of time. Fast forward to today and pieces in their jewellery, gifts, homeware and dining collections are as distinctive as they are beautiful.
