Jacob Jensen Electric Kettle
The Jacob Jensen kettle has a simple, elegant metal housing, available in black, silver or green. The display integrated into the handle is activated as soon as a hand approaches and switches to sleep mode when the device is not in use. A gentle acoustic signal sounds as soon as the water reaches the desired temperature; the keep-warm function maintains it at a constant temperature until it is needed. The kettle offers seven preset temperatures, from 70 to 90 degrees Celsius.
Statement by the Jury
This kettle enriches the user’s daily life by combining everyday functionality with aesthetic appeal.

Jacob Jensen Long Slot Toaster
The Jacob Jensen Long Slot Toaster combines high-quality materials with a minimalist design. The user interface activates when approached and automatically switches to sleep mode after use. The motion-controlled display shows the toasting level and remaining time. Seven toasting settings and programmes for bagels, reheating and defrosting allow for individual results. Thanks to its attractive appearance from all sides, the toaster can be placed not only against a wall, but also positioned freely.
Statement by the Jury
The Jacob Jensen Long Slot Toaster appeals with its elegance, which it achieves through the materials as well as the calm, carefully modelled forms.

Interior Design Elements 2025
Jacob Jensen Optical Smoke Alarm
The Jacob Jensen Smoke Alarm Optical merges the requirements of modern safety technology with aesthetic design. A pulsing light beam detects smoke particles and triggers an alarm if necessary, while the integrated battery with a service life of ten years guarantees long-lasting protection. The fabric cover made from 99 per cent recycled polyester lends a soft, distinctive aesthetic. Thanks to the five colour variants inspired by Scandinavian nature, the smoke alarm blends harmoniously into any interior.
Statement by the Jury
The Jacob Jensen Smoke Alarm Optical is a harmonious combination of a convincing safety function with a homely design concept.
