Henning Koppel’s statement-making demi-parure includes splashy pierced earrings -- ingeniously curved and cut to let lobes and skin peek through -- and flamboyantly curved and cutout biomorphic brooch. A sculptor whose work had already been widely exhibited by the time he began designing for Jensen, Koppel’s groundbreaking designs merge the abstract with the organic, deconstructing and re-interpreting natural forms like whale vertebrae or microscopic organisms as elegant, sculptural statements. Lightweight, chic and easy to wear, this mid-century Modernist trio affords far-out and fabulous sophistication!
