- In an exclusive film by Hole & Corner silversmith Jesper Nordø reveals the processes and history of making a Georg Jensen masterpiece.
Jesper Nordø started out as an apprentice at Copenhagen’s Georg Jensen in 1989. Nordø makes crafting the silver Henning Koppel pitcher look effortless whilst explaining, at the same time, that Koppel’s design was a new style in making silver. It was known by silversmiths in the 1950s as an 'impossible pitcher' as its organic shape and highly polished surface made it challenging to make.
First formed in 1952, the pitcher is one of Henning Koppel's most famous pieces. Koppel's designs played an important role in influencing the signature look at Georg Jensen, particularly in the second half of the 20th century. The designer had trained as a sculptor before turning his attention to jewellery, hollowware and cutlery.
Georg Jensen was founded in 1904 by a Danish silversmith of the same name and prides itself on the highest quality craftsmanship and timeless modern design.
This is how things should be today! Kids get out of school with no abilities yet they want to be head chefs, head jewelry makers, etc. no experience. When I was 16( 1970), I thought about cooking for a living. I researched the apprenticeship and had to admit it was more than I could handle 10 to 12 years as a “journey man” cook and then , then, u Hope u could get a job as a Soux chef...now kids spend 120k at culinary institute and think that makes them a chef....I respect ur work and work ethic. Thank u sir. And I must say, I am so impressed with ur skills and workshop!
Whilst there are craftsmen like this able to create such beauty, the world is a better place
Beautiful contemporary piece and he is so highly skilled. It's wonderful to see him work.
Really nice insight to your world and the reality that things don’t always work out the same way. Thanks!
OMG!!. this is GORGEOUS.

Great beard. Fantastic workmanship skills, talent and designs.
Gorgeous video. As if I needed another reason to love Georg Jensen silver.
Speechless at the pure beauty and craftsmanship ❤️
From one pro metal-botherer to another, BRAVO mon ami! Also, I wish my workshop was that organised!! 🏆🇬🇧⚔️
Beautiful Work! The 90s music:)) I have played it a few times this year on the headphones:))
Absolutely Incredible and beautiful. Such an inspiration.
I'm not sure how I ended up here... I'm self teaching jewelry making. But that is the most stunningly, beautiful, organically shaped pitcher I've reverted seen. Wow!
huskyfluffy yes you are right. The pitcher is called African lady. Very iconic. One of my favourite silver pieces!
Same - I was watching Starcraft 2 replays... And somehow I ended up here...
I'm not hating it!
Such a precious in every way art! 🙌

Gorgeous craftsmanship! Do they sale sterling silver beer steins or 18 ounces cups? If so, I will be very interested

I'm doing a school assignment about this jug. And I'm wondering how it get the shiny surface?
Μπράβο μπράβο συγχαρητήρια υπέροχο. !!!!!

Brave man! No goggles or protection of any kind.
Doing what.? Didn't see any danger anywhere, and he did wear glasses, while using the "Dremel"
@@CONEHEADDK should have on glasses while running bandsaw
@@stillkickin9957 If I was teaching, I would demand it (like I did when teaching fly fishing to kds - safety first, and no eceptions), to not make them think, that it's optional. But irl, with my experience with silver and bandsaws, I don't think, he was in any danger there. His face is so far away from the cut, that I don't think, anything will ever reach his eyes (and if it could, he'd probably have known after a lot of sawing before becoming so good at his job, and put some on, since he did with the Dremel), and the video seems to confirm that.
D2 poh ang silver

If you have the equipment you can make/do anything ,
Depends on who "you" are. Most people can't do "anything", no matter which equipment they get hold of..

Amazing talent and beautiful work, but you MUST wear hearing protection!

Gawa
did he reveal any secrets? poorly cut video
Guessing it would be asking way to much to skip the annoying, loud music, and just do an informative narration.
That music was awful
