Holm Sørensen was Danish, and his works were produced in Denmark during the 1960s, a period marked by strong experimentation within Scandinavian modern and brutalist design.

The piece is constructed in hand-forged wrought iron, combined with solid coloured glass elements in amber and deep blue. This combination is characteristic of Holm Sørensen’s work, where industrial materials are treated with an expressive, almost architectural sensibility. The glass blocks are not merely decorative but integrated structurally to create rhythm, contrast and depth.

Holm Sørensen’s designs from this period are recognised today for their bold forms and sculptural presence, and his work is well documented in Scandinavian design history. His pieces are represented in private collections and are increasingly sought after for their rarity and strong visual identity. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
