Architect Arne Jacobsen’s love of textiles is not as well-known as his modernist furniture design and architecture.

In the post-World War II era and for ensuing decades, the enterprising textile engineer and designer played an important role in Georg Jensen Damask's transformation from village weaving mill to design company, and was responsible for some of Georg Jensen Damask's most important classics.

Weaver and designer Bodil Bødtker-Næss (1942-1988) is a prominent name in Danish textile art, and has created some of Georg Jensen Damask's most iconic motifs.

Designer Cecilie Manz (born 1972) is responsible for a wide portfolio of contemporary furniture art, lamp design, textile design, and industrial design. 

Jette Nevers (born 1943) graduated from the Design School Copenhagen in 1965. After her graduation, she opened her own workshop and she was known for her simple naturally coloured shawls and ponchos.

In 1958, John Becker and Bent Georg Jensen both travelled to see the Finnish Weaver Dora Jung, and shortly after John Becker’s first design for Georg Jensen Damask, Calypso, was launched.
