2020 Holiday Ornament, Ice Dianthus

The delicate cut-outs of this striking palladium-plated Christmas ornament give a shimmering, otherworldly appearance as it reflects the light hanging in a tree or a window during the Yuletide season. Depicting the transient beauty of an ice flower, the decoration has a graphic, contemporary quality but at the same time references Georg Jensen’s Art Nouveau heritage. It is sure to become a much-loved part of any family Christmas.

Joining the ranks of designers asked to create Georg Jensen’s annual Christmas Collectibles, Sanne Lund Traberg researched the work of early 20th century photographer Karl Blossfeldt and also looked in her own garden for inspiration. The resultant collection offers a modern twist on Art Nouveau motifs and brings an element of nature into the home in a way that is truly Scandinavian.

Beautifully crafted from palladium-plated zinc alloy, the Dianthus ornament comes with both a traditional red and seasonal green ribbon.
