HENNING KOPPEL, (1918-1981) WAS ONE OF THE MOST AWARDED OF ALL DESIGNERS COMMISSIONED BY GEORG JENSEN. HE ACHIEVED WORLD RECOGNITION FOR HIS DESIGNS IN EVERYTHING THAT HE WAS INVOLVED, FROM POSTAGE STAMPS TO FURNITURE. THIS DESIGN, IS PART OF A SERIES OF SIMILAR MOTIFS COMMENCED IN 1946, EASILY DEMONSTRATE HOW FAR AHEAD OF HIS TIME HENNING KOPPEL REALLY WAS.

THE SPATIALISM IS AN ART MOVEMENT FOUNDED BY THE ITALIAN ARTIST LUCIO FONTANA IN MILAN IN THE 1947 IN WHICH HE GRANDIOSELY INTENDED TO SYNTHESIZE COLOU, SOUND, SPACE, MOVEMENT AND TIME INTO A NEW TYPE OF ART. THE MAIN IDEAS OF THIS MOVEMENT WERE ANTICIPATE IN HIS MANIFIESTO BLANCO, PUBLISHED IN BUENOS AIRES IN 1946. IN IT HE SPOKE OF A NE "SPATIAL" ART IN KEEPING THE SPIRIT OF THE POST WAR AGE.

AS A NOTE, THIS EARLY MODEL IS VERY RARE TO SEE AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL VINTAGE PATINA INTACT, A NICE COLLECTOR'S ITEM.
