27 Jan Arje Griegst new Copenhagen boutique in T/The New York Times

The artist and jeweler Arje Griegst, who designed everything from the Conch fountain in Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens to porcelain for Royal Copenhagen to a tiara for the country’s queen, is a household name in Denmark. After his death in 2016, his son, Noam Griegst, a photographer and filmmaker, took over as creative director of his father’s eponymous studio, and, last fall, he opened the brand’s first boutique in 30 years, in Copenhagen, “gathering the universe of Griegst in my own way, while still embodying his hallucinatory and opulent spirit,” as he puts it. That meant, in part, working with Georg Jensen to relaunch Spira, a line of rococo-handled silver cutlery Griegst started designing in the ’70s. It’s now available for the first time in nearly two decades, exclusively at the Griegst shop, and more reissues are to come. Noam plans “to reintroduce something from our archives every four or five years,” though he hints that a porcelain collection might arrive as early as this year.
