Bent Knudsen (1924-1996) and his wife Anni started a sliversmithy in 1956. Earlier, starting in 1946, Bent had worked in Hans Hansen's smithy in Kolding. He was trained as a silversmith at C.M. Cohr's in Fredericia where the work was based on craftsmanship. Eventually he established his own workshop where he created jewelry in a simple and clear style, often together with his wife. In later years one of the most sought after maker/designer on the vintage market.
