Holmegaard
Holmegaard has been creating quality glassware for almost two centuries. The legendary glassworks has collaborated with scores of celebrated designers over its long history, including Arne Jacobsen, Louise Campbell, Bodil Kjær and many others, with each artisan crafting vases, bottles and other serveware and decorative objects that are widely loved by collectors and art connoisseurs alike. Today Holmegaard is a powerhouse of functionalist modern Danish glass design.
Holmegaard Glassworks was the dream of Danish Count Christian Danneskiold-Samsøe, who petitioned the king of Denmark for permission to build a factory. Sadly, by the time permission was granted, the count had passed away, leaving his dowager, the Countess Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe, to carry on her late husband’s dream in 1825. The factory was established in the town of Fensmark in the Holmegaard bog, where rich peat could be harvested and used to fuel the high-temperature kilns required to produce glass there.
The factory initially produced only simple mouth-blown green glass packaging bottles — the need was for glassware that was merely functional. It wasn’t until the 1920s that it made progress as a significant entity in the world of design. There was a fruitful partnership to create dinner glassware with the Royal Danish Porcelain Factory and glass artist Oluf Jensen. This was followed in 1925 by Holmegaard’s hiring Jacob Eiler Bang as the glassworks’ first in-house designer.
Bang was trained as an architect and was working on the Danish Pavilion at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts — the fair that brought the Art Deco style to worldwide attention — when his efforts caught the attention of Holmegaard. Bang believed in the concept of making things that were “beautiful, strong, practical and cheap.” His seductive, functionalist designs for vases, decanters, bottles and other objects — guided by the theories that underpin Scandinavian modernism — garnered acclaim for both Bang and Holmegaard, and he became known as one of the fathers of functionalism in Danish glassware.
Holmegaard went on to work with Per Lütken, who created intricate objects that redefined the factory’s style and Danish glass design as a whole. Lütken produced over 3,000 pieces for the glassworks, including the revered Provence bowl, one of the pieces for which the glassworks is best known. The brand went on to work with other notable artists including Otto Brauer and Jacob Bang’s son, Michael Bang, whose Palet range, Fontaine wine glass range, and Mandarin lamps are among Holmegaard’s most iconic creations.
Today, Holmegaard Glassworks is owned by Rosendahl Design Group. It is Denmark’s largest manufacturer of glass in addition to being the oldest and most historic.

- Vintage Danish Table Lamp from Kastrup Glass for HolmegaardBy KastrupLocated in Søborg, DKVintage Danish table lamp by Kastrup glass for Holmegaard in blue hand blown glass from the 1960s. Rewired with twisted black cloth flex and can be delivered with an EU UK or US plug. The work was laid on 12 October 1847 by master of the stable Christian Conrad Sophus Count Danneskiold-Samsøe. In 1873 it was transferred to a limited company and in the same year Godthaab Glasværk near Helsingør (founded approx. 1858 by Mathias Jørgensen) was leased. This was definitively taken over in 1883, and in 1881 Tuborg Fabrikers Glasværk was bought, which was named Hellerup Glasværk. In the meantime, the count had disposed of the works in 1873. From 1907, the glass works were run in close collaboration with A/S De forenede Glasværker, Odense, and A/S Frederiksberg Glasværk, whose shares it took over. Under A/S De forenenede Glasværker belonged Fyns Glasværk, Odense, (founded 11 June 1874) and until 1907 Aarhus Glasværk, Århus, (founded 1898), which was then taken over by A/S Kastrup Glasværk. In 1918, the share capital in the glassworks in Aalborg was also acquired (founded in 1853 by chamberlain August Theodor Schütte, transferred to a limited company in 1905). In addition to Kastrup Glasværk, the company operated the following works: Hellerup Glasværk, De forenenede Glasværker i Odense and Aarhus Glasværk. In 1892, the company had a large headquarters built at Nørre Voldgade 12 in Copenhagen by architect Philip Smidth. The building still bears the company's name. The factory first had a large production of mouth-blown bottles, which were mechanized in 1912. Since then, mouth-blown drinking glasses, glassware, pocket larks, cheese bells...Category
