ABOUT PRODUCTID 16986
Designed by Sidse Werner in 1979 for Denmark's esteemed Holmegaard glassworks, this centerpiece bowl epitomizes 1980s Scandinavian modernism. Made of thick, pressed, transparent glass with a cool, slightly aqua-green tint characteristic for Holmegaard of this era, the bowl features a striking organic silhouette: the rim bursts into deeply lobed, radiating petal-like segments reminiscent of a stylized flower or sea anemone. Across its surface, a pronounced raised texture mimics nature’s fine veining and ripples, while the central base is marked by a starburst pattern, adding decorative interest. With a diameter of 24.5 cm and height of 4.5 cm, its proportions suit decorative tabletop display. All edges are smoothly rounded, demonstrating high craftsmanship and production quality. The heavy construction lends a sense of durability and stability. Condition: good, with minor surface scratches from use, no chips or cracks. This bowl carries with it the spirit of Danish reverence for nature and light: pressed glass refracts and scatters sunlight softly across the sculpted ridges, creating gentle, shifting reflections that transform with the hour. Its organic contours and relief recall the Nordic design movement’s late twentieth-century embrace of nature-inspired simplicity, resilient materials, and artisan techniques. The piece seems to whisper: “I was shaped by the 1980s, but my inspiration lies in northern seas and glacier-carved landscapes.” The bowl serves perfectly as a focal point on a living room table, fitting both minimalist interiors and homes styled in modern Scandinavian spirit. It may be combined with raw wood, neutral-toned ceramics, or polished chrome accents to highlight its tactile texture and timeless character. Displayed on a light-colored tabletop, paired with
