Different Type of Flatewares in Etabletop
A minimalist classic, this George Jensen flatware represents the essence of the Danish modern style and has been in continuous production since it was first designed. Used as the flatware of the crew in Stanley Kubricks film, A Space Odyssey, the futuristic looking set is sleek, with the handles only slightly differentiated, and the knife blade indicated by only a subtle indentation.
Georg Jensens early training as a sculptor and silversmith influenced his designs and the idyllic landscape of his childhood was reflected in his work throughout his career. Georg Jensens interest in nature and natural forms was also in keeping with Art Nouveau principles current in Paris and elsewhere at the turn of the Twentieth Century. Georg Jensen drew inspiration from fruits, leaves and flowers, translating them into silver ornaments. Like other modern artists and craftsmen, Georg Jensen preserved the evidence of process that went into the making of a work, often enriching the surface of his silverwares with visible hammer marks.
