Inspired by the simplicity of Bauhaus and Japanese arts and crafts, his designs focused on clean lines and practicality.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe enrolled at the Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole (Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Copenhagen, in 1924, to study architecture. He graduated in 1930. He then worked at the architects’ design studio of Edvard Thomsen and Frits Schlegels for a year. During 1931 he studied at the French school, in Athens and travelled in Europe, the Far East and USA. He returned to Copenhagen in 1932 and opened his own design studio. He continued to collaborate with Thomsen and Schlegels. During the 1930s Stephensen gained commissions for a great number of houses and buildings in the Copenhagen area.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 1938 he started working with silversmith and designer Kay Bojesen, one of Georg Jensen's first apprentices, who became an important Danish silversmith and designer. Bojesen believed in functionalist design. Magnus Stephensen produced designs and drawings for silver, to be produced by Kay Bojesen. His designs from this period are simple, refined and smooth, inspired both by Kay Bojesens style and by Japanese handicrafts. Stephensen went on to write a book called \"Brugsting Fra Japan\" - \"Useful Things from Japan\". Stephensen's philosophy was that the function of a silver item should be apparent from its shape and form. The collaboration with Bojesen lasted until 1952.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFrom 1952 he designed hollowware and flatware, both in silver and steel, for Georg Jensen.

His aim, with his jewellery design, was to capture the interaction of light, to become \"The Sunshine Jeweller\". He specialised in coloured gemstones and concentrated on craftsmanship and high quality finishes. His creations were distinctly modernist. He collaborated with Jean Cocteau, between 1962 and 1971 and other leading artists, including \u003cspan style=\"background-color:#ffffff;text-align:center;\"\u003eBernard Buffet, in 1971, Georges Braque, in 1972 and Miroslav Brozek, in 1979\u003c\/span\u003e. He had a love of sailing, which his sons followed. In 1966, his son, Henri Samuel designed a bracelet, inspired by sailing, made from a combination of steel marine cables and yellow gold rivets. He named it \"The Force 10 bracelet\", named after the storm level on the Beaufort scale, which measures wind force. FRED's designs have influenced many jewellers mid 20th century and modern jewellers. Fred Samuel died on 3rd October, 2006, in Boulogne-Billancourt, at the age of 98.
