About the artist.
"Danish designer Nanna Ditzel is known for the incredible breadth of her work during the post-war period and beyond, including furniture, interiors, textile, and jewelry. She perfectly encapsulates the design critic’s Alice Rawsthorn idea of “attitudinal design,” meaning that Ditzel designs from a conceptual, visionary place rather than a specialized category.
Her designs marry form and function, but always with an element of playful aesthetics that goes beyond the typical, well-known Scandinavian minimalist style. While Ditzel’s work can be characterized as a riff on functionalism, and is rooted deeply in organic modernism, it is certainly not minimalism.
Nanna Ditzel designed jewelry for Danish silver company Georg Jensen starting in 1954. Though Georg Jensen’s roster of jewelry designers have included many women since, Ditzel was the first to design for Georg Jensen, and her designs remain among their most striking, still relevant today."
