Lit.:
C. Thau - K. Vindum, Arne Jacobsen, Copenhagen 2002, p. 474.

Early execution of this design by the silversmithy of the Danish Court Jeweller A. Michelsen. Subsequently, the cutlery service, which was originally used in the restaurants of the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, went into mass production at Georg Jensen.
