CHRISTIAN FJERDINGSTAD (1891-1968)

Born in Danemark in 1891 and first worked as a silversmith in his country.

When he arrived in 1915 in France, he met Fernand Léger and became friends with him who encouraged him to expose his work to the 1921 Salon d’Automne in Paris. He had great success during this exhibition and then was hired by Christofle as the Head of Design, between 1924 and 1939. At the same time, he was continuing to create items under his own name. He was the creator of a new formal vocabulary and can be considered as one of the creators of the Art Deco style and a contributor to the renewal of early 20th-century silverware.
