Allan Scharff

Allan Scharff is one of few. He successfully bridges being both a classic silversmith, an artist and a designer, with a career spanning more than 40 years. The passion for silver grew out of an apprenticeship at Georg Jensen, where it only seemed natural to receive an education as a silversmith in the Danish design tradition. Throughout his career Scharff has designed for Hans Hansen, Georg Jensen and Holmegaard, where his works have received numerous prizes. Several international exhibitions have also been held around Scharff''s commended work.

In addition, Scharff has been elected as an Associate member of the prestigious English Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths – one of only 100 foreign members - which also includes the Danish Queen.  Scharff’s work is functional, aesthetic and often with a touch of humor. Scharff believes in the principle “less is more“, he creates recognizable shapes with as few lines as possible. The ambition with each piece designed and crafted by Schaff, is to create a small moment of delight and fun.
