He was the youngest child of Danish silversmith and designer Georg Arthur Jensen (1866–1935) and his wife Magdalene Hanna Agnes Christiansen (1888–1966).
Later on he would work for the Georg Jensen Silversmithy for a brief period of time and later move on to Gero in the Netherlands where he would design their modern style of flatware and cutlery.
He then returned in 1962 to Denmark where he opened up a new pottery workshop and began to produce in addition to bowls, plates and other tableware, teapots, jewelry, and even flower pots.
He then moved on to design more stoneware lines which were very comprehensive, spanning from roasting pans to egg dishes, and a few years later became development manager for Bing & Grøndahl.
