Designed in 1915 by Johan Rohde, the Acorn sterling silver cutlery pattern represents the early foundation of Georg Jensen's organic and timeless design language. In contrast to the style of the early 1900s, Acorn's design captures a classic, understated style where decoration is used to emphasize the form and shape. Regarded as both a sumptuous and noble pattern, Acorn had at one time 220 individual pieces. Today's range totals 80 and remains one of Georg Jensen's most exclusive silver cutlery patterns.
Johan Rohde
Johan Rohde (1856-1935), originally a painter, was the first designer to collaborate with Georg Jensen. In 1906, Rohde approached the silversmithy to produce a coffee set which he had designed himself for his new home. The collaboration proved an enormous success with many of Rohdeâ?s bowls, candelabras and coffee & tea services defining an era of classic silver hollowware design.
Before becoming a designer for the studio, Johan Rohde was impressed by the craftsmanship of Georg Jensen. Their first collaboration dates from 1904, when Rohde commissioned Georg Jensen to make some objects for his own personal use. This collaboration was a great success for both sides. Rohde was impressed with Jensenâ?s talent and Jensen was impressed with Rohdeâ?s own skilled eye for design. Based on their initial cooperation, Jensen asked Rohde if he would design subsequent products for Georg Jensen. Rohde became one of the brandâ?s earliest artistâ?s to lend their unique vision to the studio.
Johan Rohde designed serene, elegant products for the silver smithy, beginning in 1906. Rohdeâ?s designs have much with in common with the designs of Georg Jensen himselfâ??his pieces bear the same characteristic hammer marks and use the same oxidization technique.
Rohdeâ?s original works are symbols of a remarkable era in design, and represent the richness of the Georg Jensen legacy
