Georg Jensen (1866-1935) trained as a goldsmith and sculptor before establishing his own workshop in Copenhagen in 1904. He was influenced by nature and form, and his business (named after him) created highly original jewellery and silverware, which in turn pioneered 20th century Scandinavian design. The company continues to exist and is still internationally recognised today.
Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005) was a highly influential Danish designer specialising in furniture but also worked more broadly in tableware, textiles and jewellery. Her design business continues today through her family.
