Georg Jensen Stainless Tuja/Tanaqvil Dinner Spoon

Magnus Læssøe Stephensen (born October 12, 1903 in Holte, death March 14, 1984 in Helsingør) was a Danish architect and designer, educated at the Academy of Fine Arts 1924-30; he was the brother of Hakon Stephensen. Magnus Læssøe Stephensen's buildings are characterized by a form-assured functionalism that is not just an external style, for example his terraced houses for families with children in Husum (1941-42) and the apartment blocks in Bispeparken (1940-41) and Dommerparken (1945-47); like many other buildings in Copenhagen and the surrounding area, they were built in collaboration with Knud Thorball (1904-1980). A study trip to Japan, among other places, left its mark on his designs, which include silverware for Kay Bojesen, cutlery for Georg Jensen, tableware for the Royal Porcelain Factory and furniture for Fritz Hansens Eftf. including the DAN chair from 1931. He received the Eckersberg Medal in 1948.
