Arno Malinowski (1899-1976) trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and worked not only as a silversmith but also as a sculptor, jewelry designer, engraver, medallist, and ceramist. While designing for Jensen from 1936-1944 and again from 1949-1965, he also worked for the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory designing a series of mythological figurines.
During the war years, when the supply of silver was extremely limited, Malinowski designed several objects with inlaid silver that were inspired by Japanese metalworking techniques. He is particularly well-known for the Kongemaerket, a brooch or lapel pin made for the seventieth birthday of King Christian X and worn by thousands of Danes during World War II as a symbol of Danish patriotism.
