Georg Jensen Mitra takes its name from the mitreo, a bishop's headdress, the shape of which inspired the cutlery stems. Designed in 1941 by the sculptor Gundolph Albertus, Georg Jensen Mitra's expression excudes functionalist new world minialism coupled with a traditional finery of cuterly patterns of that era.

Mitra was the first steel cutlery produced by the Georg Jensen Silversmiths in response to the wartime shortage of silver. Gundolph Albertus strongly advocated continuing the craftsmanship traditions of the master, Georg Jensen. This spirit is manifested in Mitra, a handsome set in matte finish 18/8 stainless steel that withstands and deserves daily use.

Just two years after its creation by graphic artist Georg Jensen Bo Bonfils, this set received the 1990 Danish Design Award, Denmark’s most prestigious design accolade. It was "the timeless, stylistic harmony of the pieces and their sophisticated, almost imperceptibly refined interpretation of an old ideal" which convinced the jury.

The Georg Jensen set feels new and different, but at the same time familiar. Its rounded lines seem so natural especially when held in the hand. The Georg Jensen Bo Bonfils cutlery is produced in matte-finish stainless steel 18/8 and is an obvious choice for both everyday use and special occasions. Bo has enriched Danish applied arts for many years, creating elements under his motto "make everyday beautiful." Bo Bonfils is crafted in matte finish 18/8 stainless steel.
