Soma vase, 22,5 cm, light blue - aqua

Holmegaard’s Soma vase delights the interior with its airy lines and candy-like colours. The curved rim of the glass vase pays tribute to Holmegaard’s long design heritage, while its playful, eye-catching character makes it not only a functional vessel for flowers but also a charming sculptural accent in its own right.

Named after the Greek word for “body”, the Soma vase draws inspiration from the human body in motion. Its gently asymmetrical and slanted shapes evoke a sense of free movement or dance – and like the human body, every vase is unique with its own subtle variations. This individual character is created through skilled craftsmanship and traditional mouth-blown glass techniques.

The Danish glassworks Holmegaard Glasværk is one of the best-known and longest-running glass manufacturers in the Nordic region. Holmegaard was founded in 1825 by Countess Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe, who resolutely continued the project originally initiated by her late husband, Count Christian Danneskiold-Samsøe. Built in the Holmegaard bog area, the glassworks initially produced only green bottles, but over time the range gradually expanded to include both functional glassware and artistic glass pieces.

In the 20th century, Holmegaard began collaborating with prominent designers. The first design partnership resulted in a wine glass collection designed by Svend Hammershøi and launched in 1906. The company’s first in-house designer was Jacob E. Bang, who joined in 1928, and in the 1940s, designer Per Lütken became part of the team, creating more than 3,000 glass objects. Since 1985, Holmegaard has been part of the Danish Rosendahl Design Group.
