Georg Jensen designed this spoon at the beginning of the C20th. It is a perfect example of Georg Jensen's love of organic design and his wish to make ordinary functional objects into works of art. This spoon, with its graceful lines speaks a thousand words for the Master of Design who wanted to make the working world a beautiful place to be. Having started his working life as a 'grinder' in a knife factory at the age of 14, he was well aware of the grim conditions people could find themselves in for their daily lives. His art was his contribution to remind them that there was another beautiful world and his work served to remind them of this.
