Georg Jensen: Cobra

Carafe 1.20 l Stainless Steel

Almost too elegant to simply serve water

Some objects change the atmosphere of a table before anything has even been poured. The Cobra carafe by Georg Jensen is one of those objects. With its flowing, sculptural silhouette, it feels less like a traditional carafe and more like a design piece that just happens to pour beautifully.

Designed by Constantin Wortmann, the Cobra collection is defined by its organic forms and sense of movement. The soft curves resemble liquid metal frozen in motion, giving the carafe a dynamic yet calm appearance. Elegant without being dramatic. Modern without feeling temporary. That balance is exactly what gives the piece its quiet presence.

Crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel, the carafe reflects surrounding light, candles and natural textures in subtle ways that constantly change depending on the setting. With a capacity of 1.20 litres, it is ideal for serving water, juice, homemade lemonade or drinks during relaxed dinners with guests.

The ergonomic shape feels balanced and comfortable in hand, while the tall silhouette creates an elegant, sculptural presence on the table. At 33 cm high, the Cobra carafe remains visually striking even when simply standing on a sideboard or open shelf between uses.

Somewhere between tableware and sculpture

The Cobra collection has become one of Georg Jensen’s most iconic series, showing how functional everyday objects can also create atmosphere within a space. The flowing forms bring movement and softness, while the clean silhouette keeps the overall look refined and timeless.

Especially when combined with glassware, ceramics, linen or wood, the polished stainless steel develops a beautiful warmth and depth. The carafe integrates effortlessly into minimalist interiors as well as more layered, natural table settings.

And honestly — some carafes eventually earn a permanent place on the table.

Georg Jensen – Scandinavian design with lasting relevance

Since 1904, Georg Jensen has stood for exceptional craftsmanship and timeless Scandinavian design. What began as a small silversmith workshop in Copenhagen evolved into one of the world’s most respected design houses, known for shaping generations of modern design.

The brand’s silversmith heritage continues to influence its collections today, visible in the balanced proportions, organic curves and refined materiality found throughout the Cobra series. Designers such as Sigvard Bernadotte, Arne Jacobsen and Verner Panton helped shape the house’s legacy over decades. Constantin Wortmann continues this tradition with a fluid and sculptural design language that gives Cobra its unmistakable identity.

At LIVOSY, we curate Georg Jensen for precisely this balance of atmosphere, craftsmanship and enduring design — objects created to become part of everyday life while quietly elevating it.

For long evenings and everyday rituals

The Cobra carafe pairs beautifully with matching glassware, contemporary cutlery and modern Scandinavian interiors. Its timeless aesthetic allows it to remain relevant far beyond changing trends and temporary styles.

Perhaps that is the most beautiful kind of luxury: owning objects you use every day and still genuinely enjoy looking at.

A carafe for people who understand that good design rarely needs to be loud.
