His collaboration with Georg Jensen began as early as 1906, before he was permanently hired by Jensen in 1917 as a designer for household goods and silverware. He remained there until his death. Rohde was one of Jensen’s closest collaborators. Among his most significant designs is the “Acorn”/“Konge” cutlery pattern (1915).
