About the designer
Michael Bang
Michael Bang was a Danish designer and ceramicist behind some of Holmegaard’s most widespread and successful designs over the years, and many have become collectors’ items. Michael Bang was the son of Holmegaard’s first designer, Jacob E. Bang and, before he joined Holmegaard Glass Factory, he worked at Bjørn Wiinblad’s workshop, the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Factory, and Ekenäs Glasbruk AB in Sweden.
In his design work, Michael Bang was a master of connecting the simple with the practical, which is synonymous with Scandinavian lifestyle and everyday life – and then adding that unique, original twist or fun shape to the glass, making him one of the best glass artists. It was Michael Bang who added bright colours to the glass, as seen by the storage jars in the Palet range which, with their bright colours, became glass’ answer to contemporary pop culture, with pieces made from mouth-blown glass in the original colours that were typical of the 1970s.

Michael Bang also created vases and flowerpots for the MB range in the early 1980s, and designed the iconic Mandarin lamps in mouth-blown, white opal glass – which was considered the speciality of the glass factory. Especially his 1987 wine glass Fontaine range, with its bubble blown into the top of the stem, is an example of Holmegaard’s most advanced glass art to date, while the range is also designed to meet our increasing interest in handling wine correctly and presenting the precious grapes in glass that emphasises the character of the wine.
The production technique used in the Fontainerange is completely unique and, through this series of exclusive wine glasses, the glassblower demonstrates their craftsmanship by blowing a small bubble into each glass as an elegant greeting to Holmegaard’s original craftsmanship traditions at their best. Slightly higher than standard, the glass' stem gives your table a light and elegant expression, thus making the range highly relevant in today’s exclusive wine service market. The range is complete and contains glasses for every occasion.
