The work
This shift transforms each piece into a unique object that highlights both the natural structure and the artist’s intervention. The collection explores the relationship between nature and design, showing how ancient forms can be recontextualized in a contemporary way.
Materials & making
Mouth-blown glass
Glass is made in minutes and cooled for hours. Molten at over a thousand degrees, it is gathered, blown and shaped while it moves, a material that records the breath and timing of the person making it. No two pieces cool exactly alike.

01
Gathering
Molten glass is gathered from the furnace onto a blowing iron at working temperature.
02
Blowing and shaping
The glassblower inflates and turns the gather, shaping it by hand and tool while it is still soft.
03
Forming
The piece is worked toward its final form; colour, wall and profile are set before the glass stiffens.
04
Annealing
Finished glass is cooled slowly over hours in a controlled oven so it settles free of internal stress.
Made at
Holmegaard
Denmark · Est. 1825
Holmegaard has made glass in Denmark since 1825 and remains one of Scandinavia's most storied glassworks. Each piece is mouth-blown and shaped by hand, continuing a craft tradition central to Danish design.
