Hans Hansen (1884-1940) opened a goldsmith shop & smithy in Kolding, Denmark about 1906. Kolding was already well known for its silver & in particular for the well known Goldsmith Holger Kyster & the silverware he produced designed by famous silversmiths Th. Bindesboll, Joakim Skovgaard & Svend Hammerhoj. By the 1920s Hansen was producing his own line based on his & H.F. Gross' designs. Initially the company produced flatware. Once that was successful they started with jewelry. The first pieces were designed by Hansen himself around 1931 but production of jewelry really began in 1932 with a collection designed by Hansen's son Karl Gustav Hansen. Karl Gustav Hansen was born in Kolding on December 10, 1914. The younger Hansen showed an early aptitude for his craft & left school at 16 to become an apprentice to Einar Olsen a hollowware smith. in 1934, KGH presented his test piece, a teapot on a chafing dish & received the silver medal, the highest distinction in the Danish appprenticeship system. Shortly afterwards he enrolled at the School of Sculpture at the Art Academy but continued to work with silver. After travelling in Europe KGH opened up a workshop with his father in Copenhagen where passers-by could watch KGH & three other craftsmen at work through a large window. KGH had his first larger exhibition of works in Copenhagen in May 1940. The next month, his father died at only 56 years old. KGH was 25 & he took over the Hans Hansen Silversmithy. This collection was called Future & comprised about 50 pieces, including brooches, rings, clasps, earrings, etc. Other designers such as Bent Gabrielsen Pedersen & Bent Knudsen also worked for Hansen & by the 1980s Allan Scharff was the leading designer. in 1992 the firm joined with the Georg Jensen company.
