Sparkling exhibit illuminates 100 years of Georg Jensen

Lighting was key for the famed Danish silversmith and it's key to a centennial celebration of his studio

By Susan Kendzulak  /  CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

For the past 100 years, many art and design fads have come and gone, and Jensen studio has been witness to many. Sometimes the time period influenced the design in very subtle ways, as one can recognize works made in the early 19th century versus those made 60 years later.

Jensen, however, never fully adopted any fads. His designs remained fluid, simple and elegant, in other words: timeless.
