History & context — read more ▾
This ice bucket was designed by Per Lütken for Holmegaard, one of the most prominent figures in Danish glass design in the 20th century. Since the 19th century, Holmegaard has been known for its ability to combine functionality and aesthetics in everyday objects. Ice buckets became particularly popular in the mid-20th century with the rise of cocktail culture, serving both as practical containers for ice and as an integral part of table aesthetics.
The clear form of the glass and the blue hues are characteristic of Holmegaard's production and testify to a design tradition where simplicity and understanding of materials are central.
