Designer
Jørgen Møller (1930-2009) started his career by working in the drawing office of the Danish legend of architecture and design, Arne Jacobsen. Simple everyday objects have always interested Møller. Therefor he has designed several beloved everyday objects during his long career.
In 1987, Møller and his grandchild designed together the Elephant bottle opener, which became a global favorite. The bottle opener was followed by a money box and other products. Møller said that the will never stop designing: ”the world is open and I focus on many things and I constantly draw, so if someone asks my what was my best design, I always reply: the next one!”
