Georg Jensen Sterling Silver "Amoeba" Earrings No. 119 by Henning Koppel

Henning Koppel's "amoeba" design for Georg Jensen, featuring free-flowing, asymmetrical, biomorphic shapes, exemplifies his modernist approach in the late 1940s and early 1950s. This abstract and sculptural style, applied to jewelry like the iconic "amoeba" earrings, marked a departure from traditional naturalism and positioned Koppel as a key modernist innovator for Georg Jensen. His fluid, organic "biomorphic" forms earned him international recognition. Vintage "amoeba" earrings are highly collectible, representing a pivotal moment where modern art met exceptional silver craftsmanship, resulting in a timeless and contemporary design.
