"Petronella" oil lamp
Having opted out of High School before his finals in 1937 he was admitted to The Academy of Fine Arts, sculptors' course. He was married in 1941. The family fled to Sweden, Stockholm, in October 1943 during World War 2. There he mostly worked as a draughtsman painting beautiful watercolours of shop fronts that he could sell to the owners.
One of these was the "Svenskt Tenn" [Swedish Pewter] that bought a series of pictures and was so satisfied with them that he was offered the opportunity to work as a craftsman with them. titlehough it was not too easy to make both ends meet, the family managed, with a very substantial network of friends and strong, close-knit family relations, to get through the war years. It was in Stockholm, too, that he met Anders Hostrup-Pedersen, the new manager of Georg Jensens Sølvsmedie, [Silversmithy]. He saw the gifted artist in Henning Koppel's works at "Svenskt Tenn" and expessed his wish to meet him when the war would be over. So they met again in 1946 in Copenhagen, and this meeting proved the start of Henning Koppel's long career as a silver artist with Georg Jensen's. His productivity was enormous: Hollowware, jewelry, cutlery in both silver as well as steel. China for Bing & Grøndahl and glass for Orrefors. At the new factory of Georg Jensen's in Hjørring copper pots and -pans were made with inside silver coating. At the same time as the Petronella, the oil lamp, was created, he designed his first clock dial - with a diameter of 27 cm - which was produced at Louis Poulsen & Co's. Later more clocks and a weather station were added, produced by Georg Jensen.
The weather station, introduced in 1980, became a great success and copied a lot. As is often the case the first sketch for the weather station turned out to end up as the final version. During his career Henning Koppel won several competitions and prizes, and this short presentation gives him far from enough credit for his great contribution to making Danish Design so world wide famous.

To begin with his clocks were sold to wholesalers and shops. The market was soon extended to include firms ordering products stamped with their company emblems. The production went on until 2005, when the firm was sold to the Delite ApS. In 1990 Clausen Ure [Clocks] was honoured with the Formland Prize for a table clock made in solid aluminium. A lifelong interest in Irish music - also deriving from his genes - has resulted in Mogens Clausen today is making traverse flutes, traversos, based on working drawings from the 19th century.

As an independent designer since 1973, he is much in demand, and at the head of his class in his understanding and handling of stainless steel, a material that allows him to express his preference for clarity of form. His many designs for table settings have received numerous awards. In particular his simple solutions, preferably in stainless steel, have become the characteristic feature of his products. His good client contacts allow him to constantly develop new product ideas, which are often brought to the market as innovations.

Sørensen. With a background as a jeweller and a clockmaker E. S. Sørensen has an eye for detail and design, and he uses these skills to raise the craftsmanship to the superior standard that we know today.
2000: E. S. Sørensen decides to retire and spend more time cruising the Scandinavian seas in summer and travel south in winter. His company is taken over by Poul Brandt Jensen & Peter Seidelin Jessen, both engineers, who shortly before had taken over the Rosenkilde Company from Mrs. Alice Rosenkilde.

One evening in Stockholm Tom Stepp arrived to a hotel. He had difficulty attracting the staff as there was no desktop bell - it had been stolen, again. Here the idea arose to make a desktop bell no pocket lining can hold for.
