About the Item

The glass bowl designed by Per Lütken for Holmegaard is one of the most recognizable examples of Danish art glass of the 20th century. Lütken, chief designer at the renowned glassworks for more than four decades, created vessels that combine the sensuality of form with superb metallurgical craftsmanship. Soft, organic shapes - often asymmetrical, resembling water drops, waves, leaves or shells. Thick walls and bottoms, creating optical refractions of light. Typical of Lütken, the bowl has gently rounded lines, no sharp edges, and the whole gives the impression of being “hand formed.” Per Lütken - master of glass One of the most important Danish glass designers of the 20th century. He worked at Holmegaard from 1942 to 1998. He designed more than 3,000 glass models - from glasses to sculptural decorative forms. He was known for his perfection and poetic approach to form - his vessels often resembled nature's forms and were pleasing to the touch. Per Lütken's glass bowls for Holmegaard are classics of Scandinavian design - minimalist, but full of life. Each is a small sculpture made of glass that captivates with its form, color and light. They are both functional and collectible - ideal for use, display or as a design investment.
