Georg Jensen – Large Centerpiece Bowl #1287, Sterling Silver 925, Copenhagen 1986Design: Nanna Ditzel, circa 1980–1981 · Georg Jensen Silberschmiede · Scandinavian Modernism

A large centerpiece bowl in sterling silver 925, model #1287, designed by Nanna Ditzel circa 1980–1981 and executed by the Georg Jensen Silberschmiede in Copenhagen in 1986. The organic form with freely undulating edges — evoking the ripples of water — is characteristic of Nanna Ditzel's formal vocabulary in her mature period: no straight lines, no geometric constraint, a table sculpture that captures and redistributes light according to the angle of view. L = 48 cm · W = 37 cm · Weight: 2,910 g.

Nanna Ditzel (Copenhagen, 1923 – 2005) studied at the School of Arts, Crafts and Design and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, graduating in 1946. Her collaboration with Georg Jensen began in 1954 — she was the first woman ever to design for the house — and extended over more than half a century, resulting in over 150 works. She was appointed Royal Designer for Industry by the Royal Society of Arts in London in 1996.
