Bent Knudsen

(1924-1997) trained at Carl Cohr in Fredericia and then worked for the Hans Hansen smithy until 1956 when he started his own workshop with his wife Anni (1927-). Their creations always marked Bent K, and clearly inspired by Bent's time at Hans Hansen, exhibited the understated, clear, and simple lines that are the hallmark of Danish Modern.

Their work is not often available on the market and is much sought after. Whilst the workshop existed until a few years ago, production of silver items gradually phased out during the 1970s, when another of their passions, the paper cut, became their major concern. This has since enjoyed worldwide acclaim and sales.
