Henning Koppel (1918 - 1981) was a Danish designer, known for his work with Georg Jensen, having designed some of their most well-known silver pieces in the post-WWII period. Koppel, who was Jewish, was forced to flee German-occupied Denmark in 1943. He spent 1943 – 1944 in Stockholm with his family, where he saw success as a jewellery designer for Svenskt Tenn. When he returned to Denmark at the close of the war in 1945, Koppel began working with Georg Jensen. He also designed lamps for Louis Poulsen and porcelain for Bing & Grøndahl, cementing him as one of the most important and imitated Danish interior product designers of this period of Scandinavian design.
