Georg Jensen is one of the world's most significant silversmiths, who formed an international following due to his innovative and sculptural work and his collaborations with other very talented designers. He started in Copenhagen as a sculptor and goldsmith working his way into silversmithing. He was the first to blur lines between artistry and craftsmanship with his ornamental design in the early 1900's. In 1904 her opened his first shop and quickly gained a following, with those stating he "never followed fashion, he created it". In 1918 he opened a much larger shop and when he passed in 1935 he already had an international reputation for superb craftsmanship. He was reigned as "the greatest silversmith of the last 300 years" when he passed.

nature, Georg Jensen created the "Blossom" pattern of cutlery in 1919 to unify
his skills as a silversmith with his talent as an artist by creating a
magnificent pattern inspired by the natural world in the Art Nouveau style.
