  • Chief Designer and Professor Timothy Jacob Jensen
    SHORT BIOGRAPHY Chief designer and professor Timothy Jacob Jensen Timothy Jacob Jensen joined Bang & Olufsen’s team of chief designers at the age of 17. At 24, his first design was included in the design collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York. At 28, he took over the responsibility of Jacob Jensen Design from his father. He became chief designer for Gaggenau when he was 30. At 48, he became professor at Fudan University/ Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts and at 55, he was named Designer of Year in China. Today, Chief designer and professor Timothy Jacob Jensen is working out of his legendary Danish studio together with a team of creative associates from all over the world. Chief designer and professor Timothy Jacob Jensen was born in 1962 to an American mother from New York and a Danish Father from Copenhagen. From the age of four, he grew up in the rural surroundings of Hejlskov on the shores of the Limfjord in Jutland Denmark. From a very young age, Timothy was regarded as a prodigy by many. Having had a rebellious educational upbringing and spending only 7.5 years in school, Timothy joined his father Jacob Jensen’s design studio in 1978 and spent the next six years working there. Timothy joined Bang & Olufsen’s chief designers, Jacob Jensen and David Lewis, at the age of 17, and at 19 he had designed his first car, named Logicar. At the age of 22, he designed the iconic JACOB JENSEN™ classic wrist watch, which was later included in The Museum of Modern Art New York design collections.
