Vintage 1970s RARE Astrid Fog for George Jensen Bracelet Design 232 ✶ SALE ✶

RARE Astrid Fog (1911-1993) for George Jensen bangle. Fog designed for Jensen beginning in 1969 producing minimalist pieces that - although not always commercial successes - were revered as objects of art. Her pieces are part of major museum collections, including the British Museum. This bangle is star-shaped with five shapely "arms" separated by small bar-fitted gaps. Miraculous.

From The Bard Graduate Center's exhibit in 2005:

"The years after World War II witnessed a new triumph for the Jensen firm. Designers such as Henning Koppel, Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe, Nanna Ditzel, Astrid Fog, Bent Gabrielsen, and Arno Malinowski brought the company back to the forefront of the international design scene. They pushed the firm in new directions and created the Jensen company’s own interpretation of Scandinavian Modern. These successors to the Jensen mantle, while creating distinct, individual styles, maintained the founder’s spirit and love of the material, evident in his often-quoted meditation: “Silver captures the moonlight’s glimmer—like the light of a Danish summer night. It can darken, and it can, when it dews, become like a will o’ the wisp.”
