Georg Jensen: Cobra

Carafe 0.75 l Glass

Even water can look surprisingly elegant

Sometimes the atmosphere of a table comes down to the smallest details. A relaxed dinner, an open bottle of wine, a quiet conversation stretching longer into the evening than expected. And somewhere in the middle of it all sits the Cobra carafe by Georg Jensen, making even a simple glass of water feel a little more considered.

Designed by Constantin Wortmann, the Cobra collection is known for its flowing, sculptural forms that appear almost fluid in motion. The soft curves give the carafe a dynamic yet calm presence, balancing artistic expression with Scandinavian restraint. It catches the eye naturally without ever demanding attention.

Crafted from high-quality glass, the carafe combines modern design with practical everyday use. With a capacity of 0.75 litres, it is perfectly suited for serving water, juice, homemade lemonade or wine. The elegant silhouette feels comfortable to hold, while the curved shape allows for smooth and balanced pouring.

Standing 29 cm high, the Cobra carafe appears both slender and sculptural. Even when not in use, it works beautifully as a decorative object on a dining table, sideboard or open kitchen shelf. Perhaps that is why it feels less like something reserved for guests and more like an object you naturally reach for every day.

Between design object and everyday ritual

The Cobra collection has become one of Georg Jensen’s most iconic series, recognised for its organic forms, flowing transitions and contemporary Scandinavian elegance. In the carafe, this design language feels especially refined and architectural.

Combined with ceramics, linen, wood or polished stainless steel, the transparent glass creates a calm and balanced table setting that feels elegant without becoming excessive. The clarity of the material enhances the softness of the shape, bringing a subtle sense of movement and lightness to the table.

And honestly — water somehow does taste better from a beautiful carafe.

Georg Jensen – design with lasting character since 1904

For more than a century, Georg Jensen has represented exceptional craftsmanship and Scandinavian design with enduring relevance. What began as a silversmith workshop in Copenhagen evolved into one of the world’s most respected design houses, known for iconic creations across home accessories, tableware and silver craftsmanship.

The brand’s silversmith heritage still shapes many of its collections today, visible in the organic curves, balanced proportions and refined sense of materiality found throughout the Cobra series. Over the decades, Georg Jensen collaborated with influential designers such as Sigvard Bernadotte, Arne Jacobsen and Verner Panton. Constantin Wortmann continues that legacy with a design language that feels fluid, sculptural and timeless.

At LIVOSY, we curate Georg Jensen for exactly this balance of atmosphere, functionality and enduring design — objects that become part of daily life while quietly elevating it.

For long evenings and everyday moments

The Cobra carafe pairs beautifully with matching glassware, contemporary cutlery and modern Scandinavian interiors. Its timeless silhouette allows it to move effortlessly between relaxed breakfasts, elegant dinners and quiet everyday routines.

Perhaps that is what good design really means: objects that feel entirely natural to use, yet never become ordinary.

A carafe for people who understand that atmosphere often begins quietly.
