The Timeless Table: Glass with Heart and Soul from Holmegaard - Remodelista
Founded by an enterprising countess in 1825, Holmegaard is Denmark’s oldest and largest glassworks. Here’s the Minima collection along with other Holmegaard designs at the top of our wish list. Photographs from Holmegaard, unless noted. Photograph via Latte Lisa. The Minima carafe and tumblers designed by Cecilie Manz are made of mouth-blown glass. (Sadly, the dimpled tumblers seem to be out of production.) We love the Minima Bottle with Lid because it fits on a fridge door but looks equally good on a table. (Minima Turquoise Lidded Bowls, in small and large, are at Horne; $32 and $45.) The Karen Blixen Vase was inspired by African neck rings and the Africa photos of Danish author Karen Blixen (also known as Isak Dinensen). The Karen Blixen Flower Pot is a receptacle for all sorts of things; it comes in three sizes and starts at $69.95 from Fjorn. Holmegaard’s Nordlys (Northern Lights) collection is entirely made of recycled marmalade jars and glass bottles. Created by Peter Svarrer, the set includes tumblers, bowls, plates, and tea lights in subtle greens and blues. Maria Berntsen’s Design With Light series of hand-blown lanterns are designed for use indoors or out and have leather handles for portability.
