How do I pronounce Georg Jensen?
To pronounce Georg Jensen, say "GAY-org JEN-sin." In Jensen’s native Denmark, the designer's name is pronounced “GI-yo YEN-sen” (the “G” sound is hard, as it is with “give” or “gum”).

Georg Jensen was a designer born in the small town of Radvaad, Denmark. He trained as a goldsmith, studied sculpture, trained with master silversmith Mogens Ballin and eventually established his own internationally celebrated silver business in Copenhagen in 1904.
