Henning Koppel (1918–1981) was one of Denmark’s most prominent designers, playing a key role in shaping modern Danish design. He is particularly known for his long-standing collaboration with Georg Jensen, which began in 1945 after he returned from exile in Sweden during World War II.
At Georg Jensen, Koppel created a series of iconic silver pieces characterized by organic shapes and sculptural simplicity. One of his most famous designs is the Caravel cutlery, introduced in 1957. This cutlery set is named after the old sailing ships that inspired its flowing, wave-like forms. It quickly became a symbol of functional elegance and continues to be produced today.
Koppel’s work for Georg Jensen was groundbreaking and contributed significantly to establishing Danish design on the international stage in the mid-20th century.
