ABOUT PRODUCTID 37876
The Ikebana bowl, designed by Michael Bang for Holmegaard in Denmark during the 1970s, is a striking example of Scandinavian art glass from the modernist era. Crafted from thick, semi-translucent glass in a deep, cool green, it is distinguished by its organic, freeform shape inspired by the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Undulating, irregular contours and rounded depressions of varying sizes give it a dynamic, sculptural character. The bowl’s surface is perfectly smooth, highly polished, and powerfully reflective, further enhancing the sense of fluidity in the glass. Edges are carefully rounded, and the slightly raised base subtly lifts the object, ensuring stability while visually separating it from its setting. There are no cracks or chips; only subtle surface scratches typical for vintage glass, confirming its very good condition.This bowl speaks with the voice of a decade that valued freedom of form and cross-cultural dialogue. Its silhouette, as if frozen in motion, evokes the image of a water surface ruffled by wind or the gentle folds of fabric. The way light plays across the green glass lends depth and changeability to every detail, transforming the bowl into both a functional vessel and a poetic everyday sculpture. Blending Scandinavian simplicity with Japanese lightness, Ikebana tells a story of harmony with nature and the artistry of glassmaking.The Ikebana bowl can be displayed as a centerpiece on a living room table or on a console in the hallway, where its dynamic lines and saturated color are best highlighted against a neutral background. It may be paired with other glass or ceramic objects in muted tones to emphasize its organic character. This piece works well in Scandinavian, mid-century, or eclectic collector interiors, where its sculptural form and artistic provenance are truly appreciated.
