Georg Jensen Damask

Behind the design

Georg Jensen Damask’s dedicated design team works continuously to develop our collection of textiles - inspired by daily life, the craft and our historical archive of weaves and patterns. Over the years, we have also worked closely with some of the leading designers in the Nordic region, and our collection includes designs by Arne Jacobsen, Cecilie Manz, Bent Georg Jensen, Bodil Bødtker-Næss, Jette Nevers and John Becker.
