The Danish glassworks Holmegaard has a long and impressive history that stretches back almost 200 years.

Here you will be able to find a large assortment of glassware including popular vases, tumblers and champagne flutes as well as other beautiful glass objects for the home.

What is the story behind Holmegaard?

The story began in 1825 in Denmark when Countess Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe established a glass factory with the philosophy that every Dane should have a beautiful drinking glass. A few years earlier, her husband Christian Danneskiold-Samsøe had applied for permission from the King of Denmark to set up a glass factory, but since the count died before receiving an answer from the king, Henriette decided to pursue the plan. At first, Holmegaard only produced green glass bottles, but when some glassblowers from Bohemia joined the glassworks, Henriette decided to modernize and expand the product range.

Holmegaard’s design collaborations

Holmegaard collaborates with many well-known designers such as Per Lütken, Tom Nybroe and Maria Bertsen who have created modern and functional glass with the ancient history of the company constantly present. Thanks to the new collaborations with talented designers and new collections, Holmegaard stays relevant and up to date.
