My favourite Flickr find of the week has to be this picture of the amazing lamps at the Holmegaard glassworks taken by gubbex.

Visitors to the glassworks over the coming months will be able to see an exhibition of the work of Per Lutken. Widely acknowledged as one of the leading Scandinavian glass designers of the twentieth century, Per Lutken worked for Holmegaard for more than five decades from 1942 until 1998 and designed more than 3000 pieces.

The Per Lutken exhibition at the Holmegaard glassworks in Denmark runs from 14th March until 9th November.

These classic Gul vases (floor vases) were designed by Otto Brauer and produced by Holmegaard from 1962. The design inspiration was a similar vase by Per Lutken which appeared in 1958. Today the cased examples in bright pop art primary colours are the most sought after and the larger sizes can fetch a couple of hundred pounds, but I love the way the light reflects through these more affordable clear pieces.

They are available from Retro-ware at the Warwick Antiques Centre.
