Although originally designed for IKEA, it was Holmegaard, Denmark’s legendary glassworks, that executed Lütken’s vision, resulting in a piece that carries the unmistakable hallmarks of their craftsmanship: clarity, precision, and fluid elegance.

The bowl’s form is wonderfully dynamic, defined by a sweeping, asymmetrical silhouette that rises gracefully along one edge. Its shape feels organic and modern at once, capturing light in soft curves while presenting a dramatic, sculptural profile from every angle. This sense of movement—almost like a cresting wave—is a signature trait often seen in Lütken’s work.

What truly sets this piece apart is its exquisite color layering. Deep cobalt blue blends seamlessly into rich emerald green, creating a hypnotic interplay of tones as light moves through the thick, polished glass. The hues shift from saturated jewel-tone depths to luminous transparency, giving the bowl an ethereal glow in natural or ambient light

Whether styled on a dining table, console, or display shelf, this bowl brings a vibrant infusion of color and a refined modernist aesthetic—an elegant example of Danish glasswork that is both collectible and undeniably beautiful. See less
