Description:
Per Lütken (1916-1998) was the
unsurpassed master of Danish glass design and one of Holmegaard’s most
advanced glass designers. He worked at the Holmegaard Glass Factory from
1942 until his death in 1998 and has breathed life into more than 3,000
glass designs. Many of his ranges have become classics and are
synonymous with the quality that Holmegaard is famous for.
Per Lütken was the Holmegaard Glass
Factory’s great inspiring figure. He was known for his perfectionism and
made great demands on the glass blowers. If they complained that his
designs were too difficult to blow in glass, Lütken’s ambitious response
was always, “Well, who said things were supposed to be easy?”
In Per Lütken’s opinion, glasses should
have a certain natural weight, and they should ooze craftsmanship. Based
on this philosophy, he created the thick, lip-friendly glasses with
soft curves in the No. 5 (1970), Ship’s Glass (1971), Idéelle (1978) and
Charlotte Amalie (1981) ranges.
Lütken is also the man responsible for the Provence bowl (1955) and the Selandia dish (1957).
