As the master designer for Denmark’s historic Holmegaard glassworks from 1942 until his passing in 1998, Per Lutken shaped the landscape of postwar Nordic design with his organic, fluid forms and sophisticated technical mastery. The Orchid series is celebrated for its dramatic play on weight and proportion, balancing delicate narrow openings with highly substantial bases that anchoring the entire composition. The precise trapping of internal air bubbles in the green base showcases the complex hand-blown glassmanship that made Danish art glass a major symbol of mid-twentieth-century residential luxury across the globe.
