Georg Jensen is a Danish design house founded in 1904 by master silversmith Georg Jensen in Copenhagen. The company established itself as a leader in Scandinavian design by combining traditional silversmithing techniques with an organic, sculptural aesthetic that drew from Art Nouveau and later modernist movements. Georg Jensen's early collaborations with artists such as Johan Rohde and Harald Nielsen produced iconic designs that remain in production today. The company's headquarters is in Frederiksberg, Denmark, and it was acquired by the Finnish Fiskars Group in 2023 for 155 million euros.
The home decor range encompasses sterling silver and stainless steel vases, bowls, candleholders, picture frames, and sculptural objects. Signature collections include the Henning Koppel series of organic biomorphic forms, the Bernadotte collection of modernist serving pieces, and the seasonal Christmas collectibles that have become highly sought-after by collectors since their introduction in 1984. Georg Jensen's design philosophy emphasizes clean lines, functionality, and material honesty, with pieces engineered to be both decorative and utilitarian. The company maintains in-house silversmiths at its Copenhagen workshop who produce the most complex pieces using traditional hand-raising and chasing techniques.
Georg Jensen operates boutiques in over 100 locations worldwide, including flagship stores in Copenhagen, London, New York, and Tokyo. The brand has collaborated with notable designers including Zaha Hadid, Marc Newson, and Ilse Crawford, ensuring its collections remain at the intersection of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design. Home decor items range from approximately $50 for small stainless steel accessories to over $10,000 for sterling silver sculptural pieces and limited editions. The company also offers a bridal registry service and corporate gifting programs.
