Timothy Jacob Jensen is head of the most award-winning design family in the world. He has made a significant impact on the history of design with his work for the likes of Bang & Olufsen, Ecco, Gaggenau, Lufthansa, Jacob Jensen, Vertu, and Volvo. In 2017 he was named Designer of the Year in China, and in 2019 he was selected as a member of the jury for the iF Design Award, one of the most prestigious design awards in the world.
For more than two decades, Timothy Jacob Jensen was CEO and Chief Designer of Jacob Jensen Design. In 2018, he chose to sell all his shares and today runs the family company under the aegis of Timothy Jacob Jensen Studios from the headquarters on the banks of the Limfjord at Hejlskov, Denmark. Its beautiful, remote, wild, yet tranquil location provides much of the inspiration that drives Timothy in everything he does.
In 2020, Timothy laid the foundation of the Design-as-a-Service platform Designers Trust in collaboration with a group of colleagues and investors. Designers Trust connects the designers of the world with the brands who need them – for the benefit of both. Based upon the Jensen family’s century-old design tradition, a Scandinavian approach to fairness, and an undeniable eye for quality and aesthetics. Timothy’s legacy is a guarantee that both brands and designers will benefit optimally from Designers Trust.
Thanks to great colleagues, clients, and partners, Timothy has gained over 75 international distinctions and awards. He remains the most awarded Danish designer heading the world’s most award-winning design family going back to his grandfather Alfred Jensen who started the family business back in 1920.
