The story behind Holmegaard

Most people probably associate Holmegaard with being a glassworks, but few are aware that Holmegaard is based on a long and proud tradition of glass production that goes all the way back to 1825. Today Holmegaard is part of Danish design’s cultural heritage and is one of the most recognised names in Scandinavian craftsmanship traditions. And their heritage is more than just a tale of quality craftsmanship through time. Holmegaard builds on the legacy of a remarkable woman who must be said to have been ahead of her time, Countess Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe. The Countess founded a glassworks at Holmegaard marsh, as it was her late husband’s greatest dream to construct a glassworks there. But that's not the only thing that made her so remarkable. She also managed to turn it into an artistic and aesthetic world of design that is still relevant today – almost 200 years later.

World-class glass

So you get more than just some beautiful glassware. Holmegaard is synonymous with glass, and we associate it with original designs and good craftsmanship, which have resulted in many beautiful classics. Holmegaard is based on proud, hand-blown craftsmanship traditions that create beautiful and elegant glass products, which radiate quality and style. Glass designs that inspire reflection.

In the many beautiful glass designs they produce, they always try to push the boundaries of what is possible with glass. Glass has a unique ability to capture and reflect light.

Holmegaard’s unique glass designs play with the light while creating optical effects that often reflect the thoughts the designers had when devising their designs.

This is evident in designs such as the Provence bowl, where the light shape, thick base and round edges spread light and colour throughout the bubble. For example, the Provence bowl is available in a pink base colour with small glass confetti in white and mint that melts in the glass mass and spreads randomly around the bowl. This makes each mouth-blown bowl unique, and just experiencing its creation is truly magical and enchanting.
