Henning Koppel Description

Henning Koppel was born in Copenhagen in 1918. Educated as a sculptor and designer at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, he is perhaps one of the most important Scandinavian designers of the post-war-period. Since 1945, he worked for the renowned silversmith Georg Jensen and there he created a series of clocks and meteorological stations. His designs introduced a completely new artistic quality to Jensen’s silver production and stand out when considering the naturalistic decor elements of Scandinavian silver objects in the early 20th century as well as the geometric, functional shapes of the 30’s.
In 1981, Henning Koppel died in Copenhagen at the age of 63.
