The Cobra collection by Georg Jensen, conceived by German designer Constantin Wortmann, is an iconic series of home accessories that embodies contemporary elegance and modern Scandinavian design. Launched with immediate success, the collection is distinguished by its sinuous, flowing shapes, inspired by the serpentine movement of a cobra, hence the name.

Origin & inspiration

Created by Constantin Wortmann, the Cobra collection is inspired by the idea that design should evoke emotion and not be taken too seriously. True to his motto “form must follow emotion”, Wortmann has imagined everyday objects transformed into almost sculptural pieces, evoking fluid, organic movement.

The collection's curved forms, which seem to defy gravity, recall a partially melted candlestick silhouette or the graceful movement of a snake. This approach gives the objects a serpentine vitality, while remaining functional. The design, initially introduced with candleholders, has expanded to a full range of home accessories, becoming an instant Georg Jensen classic since its launch.

Materials 

The Cobra collection uses mirror-polished stainless steel for its pieces, offering a glossy, durable finish that reflects the light and accentuates the fluid curves of the design. Each piece is designed to be both a utilitarian object and a work of art, with particular attention paid to quality and durability.

The organic, dynamic forms of the Cobra collection make it a versatile choice for a variety of interiors. Whether placed on a table or on a stand, the candleholders bring a touch of sculptural elegance to a living or dining room, catching the light dramatically.

Since its introduction, the Cobra collection has become a Georg Jensen design classic, celebrated for its blend of functionality and playful aesthetics. Wortmann's sinuous shapes and philosophy, which emphasizes emotion and humor, have established Cobra as a benchmark in Scandinavian design.
