Vestergaard Jensen is most famous for his 1955 daybed design, which was made in an limited edition, likewise his other furniture designs. Though Vestergaard Jensen is not particular well known among the public, his furniture designs are highly demanded because of the limited numbers and his sense of craftsmanship, detail and his uncompromising approach to his design, which was never mass produced. Vestergaard Jensen collaborated with the skilled cabinetmaker Peder Pedersen and together they were regular exhibitors at the Cabinet-makers' Guild Exhibitions where they often set new standards for what one might expect of a piece of furniture.
