Henning Koppel was from Copenhagen and joined the Georg Jensen Company when he was 27. He had just returned to Denmark from Sweden, where as a Jew he had fled to escape the German occupation of Denmark. An trained as an artist and studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the Academie Rancon in Paris.From the beginning, his silver work was abstract and sculptural. An's early designs were for jewellery.In the late 1940s, Koppen switched to designing bodies and his work has a sculptural quality that dates back to his training as a sculptor. In 1957 Koppel created the Carvel pattern of cutlery, considered by some to be the most beautiful silver pattern created in modern times. In 1963, he won the prestigious Der Goldene Loffel award.
Throughout his career, his designs, be they jewellery, cutlery or carcasses, were a radical departure from all the Jensen designers who went before. From the ornate, nature-inspired designs of Jensen himself to Sigvaard Bernadotte's austere, functionalist designs, Koppel's was highly original and modern art. This attracted international attention and made Georg Jensen a leader in the Scandinavian modern design movement.

Koppen also designed porcelain pieces for Bing og Grøndahl, lights and clocks for Louis Poulsen & Co, glass for Kastrup and Orrefors and furniture for Kventy and Sonner.

His work earned him a reputation as the leading Danish silversmith. He won many awards: the Lunning Prize in 1953, gold medals from the Milan Triennale in 1951, 1954 and 1957 and the International Design Award from the American Institute of Interior Designers in 1963.
For Georg Jensen's 75th anniversary, he was commissioned to design a limited series of prints. The lithographs were produced by Hostrup-Pedersen and Johansen, numbered and signed by Henning Koppel. Currently in stock: 1. (SKU number 486374)
