Designed by Allan Scharff for the Danish silversmith Georg Jensen, this letter opener, produced circa 1990–1999, is an iconic design. Shaped as a stylised bird, the piece embodies the core principles of Scandinavian aesthetics: purity of form, softness of line, and refined graphic simplicity. Both functional and sculptural, it reflects Georg Jensen’s philosophy of elevating everyday objects through craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Allan Scharff, a key designer for Georg Jensen in the mid-20th century, was known for his ability to translate organic forms into elegant, modern objects. This letter opener has become one of the brand’s most recognisable designs and remains highly collectible. Crafted in solid sterling silver, it stands as a timeless object at the intersection of utility, sculpture, and design heritage.
