Cocoon

With the Cocoon series, designer Peter Svarrer’s ambition was to create a shape that would reflect and catch the light in that special way that only glass can. The result was a functional all-round vase that is also beautiful as a piece of glass art on the bookcase or on the floor without anything in it. It took Peter Svarrer three years to develop the shape of the Cocoon series’ first vase. But the result was certainly worth the wait, and it has become a modern classic. The popular series has now been expanded with vases in many sizes and bowls in transparent pastels. They look great on their own or grouped together as decor for the table or window sill display.

Peter Svarrer graduated from the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen in 1981 and has taught at the Danish School of Design and Kolding Arts and Crafts. He has numerous Danish and foreign exhibitions behind him and has received several awards and grants. Peter Svarrer has been working with glass in his own workshop since 1982 and was part of several glass workshops until he came to Holmegaards Glasværk in 1997. This is where he created the well-known and functional glass series Cocoon, Future, Cabernet, Reflections tealight holders and also individual lamps.
