Designed by celebrated Danish glass artist Per Lütken for Holmegaard in the 1960s, this striking “Carnaby” vase is defined by its vivid blue exterior contrasted against a crisp white interior. The color layering reveals itself subtly at the rim and base, where the white inner glass softly illuminates the blue outer casing, creating depth and tonal variation depending on the light. With its smooth, rounded form and refined silhouette, the design reflects Lütken’s mastery of minimalist expression and sculptural clarity. Renowned as one of Denmark’s most influential glass designers, Lütken’s works are highly collected for their purity of form and exceptional craftsmanship—both of which are clearly exemplified in this piece.

🧡 Why It Stands Out:
Part of the iconic “Carnaby” series, this vase is admired for its clean lines and captivating use of colour layering. The vivid blue interior softly glows through the opaque white exterior, creating subtle visual drama without compromising the minimal Scandinavian aesthetic. Both elegant and distinctive, it makes a striking standalone centrepiece while remaining versatile within a wider mid-century collection.
