Translucent Dream is a poetic expression in hand-blown glass by Danish artist Helle Mardahl. Known for her playful, candy-coloured universe, Mardahl brings her signature whimsy to this sculptural object. With its soft curves and luminous surface, the work evokes a dreamlike fragility, as if captured in the moment between liquid and solid. Because each piece is hand-blown, form and colour vary slightly from example to example.

The work
Some examples are in stock in Copenhagen for immediate delivery; stock changes often. When an example is not in stock, the lead time is approximately 3 weeks.
Materials and 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.

Holmegaard
Denmark · Est. 1825
