Bent Knudsen (b.1924) and his wife Anni started a sliversmithy in 1956. Earlier, starting in 1946, Bent had worked in Hans Hansen's smithy in Kolding. He was trained as a silversmith at C.M. Cohr's in Fredericia where the work was based on craftsmanship. Eventually he established his own workshop where he created jewelry in a simple and clear style, often together with his wife.

Bent Knudsen silver bracelet is one of the most dynamic pieces of jewelry I've ever seen. A fluid and elegant design; the curves, the varying widths and the open spaces all contribute to a beautiful piece of wearable art.
