She quickly gained recognition for work and became one of the most important 20th century jew- ellers and silversmiths. In 1960 she received the Lunning Prize, an award for emerging innovative Scandinavian designers, and a gold medal at the MilanTriennale. Following these successes she met Danish silversmith Georg Jensen, with whom she designed for exclusively from 1969. Torun is the designer behind some of the most famous Georg Jensen jewellery designs, including ‘Mobius’,‘TheVivianna / OpenWatch’,‘Beans’,‘Forget me knot’ and ‘Hidden Heart’. Torun’s work was inspired by natural shapes, transforming metal into flexible forms such as flowers, leaves and flowing water, remarking on her own designs, which “should enhance and move with the body so that it blends with you. It must not overwhelm, but enhance you”.
