Per Lütken for Holmegaard Glassworks Wall Lamps in Amber-colored Art Glass – Set of 2 | 1970s
A sculptural pair of wall lamps in handmade art glass by Per Lütken for Holmegaard Glass Factory. The striking glass panels unite Danish glass art with functional lighting, adding warmth, color, and character to the room.
The lamps are crafted from heavy, curved art glass with a vibrant play of warm red, orange, and brownish hues. The multicolored structure is created by fusing glass in different tones, giving each piece its own expression with irregular streaks, air bubbles, and small crystallized particles. When the lamps are turned on, the glass's depth and texture are highlighted by the warm light, while they function as decorative art glass pieces on the wall when switched off.
As a set of two, the lamps create a strong and harmonious composition. The adjustable metal bracket allows for customization of the lamp's angle, so the light and expression can be adapted to the room. A characterful example of Per Lütken's work with art glass at Holmegaard.
Selected with a focus on Danish design, craftsmanship, sculptural lighting, and vintage finds with soul.
History & context — read more ▾
Per Lütken worked at Holmegaard Glass Factory from 1942 and became one of the most significant Danish art glass designers of the 20th century. His work was characterized by a special interest in the glass's organic forms, colors, and optical qualities.
These wall lamps, known as Glasplatte or Glass Plaque, date back to the 1970s. Here, the glass becomes the primary decorative element, where color variations, inclusions, and structures create a lively interaction with the light. The lamps are made in Denmark and sold as an original matching pair.
About the designer — read more ▾
Per Lütken (1916–1998) was one of Denmark's most prominent art glass designers and is especially known for his long-standing work at Holmegaard Glass Factory.
Lütken worked with the natural properties of glass and allowed colors, air bubbles, inclusions, and organic shapes to become an active part of the piece's aesthetics. His work ranges from classic utility items to more sculptural art glass pieces and is today highly sought after by collectors of Danish design and art glass.
