Why we love it: The Opera pendant is characterised by bright, downward illumination. But Opera also illuminates itself through the special gaps between the shades. This accentuates the pendant’s decorative effect and makes a positive contribution to the overall lighting in a room.

Why we love it: The Möbius sterling silver ring is inspired by geometry and a magnificent example of post-modern innovation. Launched in 1968, Möbius is a great example of Georg Jensen design from the mid to late 20th century. It encompasses philosophy and beauty, an artistic creation that turns an unusual shape into a stunning piece of jewellery.

Why we love it: The interplay between positive and negative space is central to In Between – its back and side panels provide a concrete shape and support, but forms are created equally by the gaps in between them. In Between has a low-swung, crescent back- and armrest and a very slightly pitched seat pan. Both are balanced by the dynamically angled legs, resulting in an equilibrium of forms that makes In Between a contemporary design classic.
