The design duo Séché Studio, comprising Linnea Blæhr and Laura Bilde, designed the Forma series for Holmegaard. It includes vases, bowls and drinking glasses with a significant weight, tactile structure and high decorative value, both when in use and on display. The Forma series not only attracts attention, it retains it. There is something about the solid glass and the geometric shapes that spark reflection and act as a brain-teaser.

Forma was nominated for Design of the Year in the Design Awards 2021. This was partly due to the negative space created around the structure, which makes it difficult to decode the mould. Because that’s what really makes it interesting and sculptural to look at. The distinctive geographic shapes all have the same graphic strength and size, and cut into one another. And the strong design language works with the negative space around the structure, and thereby plays with how the brain reads the fusion of the shapes.

One of the other exciting things about Forma is that every single object balances art with decorative art, whether it’s the vase, bowls or glasses. You can easily display the objects as they are – naked and sculptural. But there is also beauty in adding to the shapes, such as adding flowers to the vase, filling the bowls with fruit or enjoying a drink from the glasses. No matter how you use them, they’re a beautiful and wild statement that goes with both the minimalist and the more expressive interior design.
