Obelisk was created in 1954 for Universal Steel of Denmark and retailed around the world by Georg Jensen. Technically innovative, each Obelisk piece was wrought from a single piece of rod stainless steel, then hand-finished with a brushed surface on the handles.
Complete six piece service for twelve; seventy-two pieces total. Stamped manufacturer's mark and artist's cipher to each element ‘Copenhagen Cutlery Denmark’.
