About Designer: Arno Malinowski (1899-1976) joined the Jensen workshop from 1936-1942. Trained as a medalist, Malinowski was able to apply his precise technique to the cutout details of animal, insect and plant brooches intended for serial production. His 1937 designs (some still in production) of a kneeling deer, a dolphin in the rushes and butterflies on a flower combined the simplicity of Functionalism with naturalistic motifs in clear outline. He also had studied the Japanese technique of inlaying iron with gold or silver in the style of tsuba sword guards, which proved useful in the frugal war years when silver supplies were curtailed. Harald Nielsen and Jensen’s son, Jorgen, also designed iron jewelry using this centuries-old Japanese technique.
