Following the passings of Georg Jensen in 1935 and Gustav Pedersen in 1937, the George Jensen Company was able to endure at the forefront of avant-garde silversmithing as a result of designers such as Henning Koppel. Koppel’s designs were famed for their beautiful organic quality and sculptural biomorphic forms, inspired by contemporary artists such as Hans Arp and Constantin Brancusi.
