Many of his designs begin with a single sweeping gesture: a curve, a tilt, a soft distortion of symmetry that gives the object a quiet sense of movement. His work often feels like a captured breath in glass: elegant, controlled, and deeply tactile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of his most recognisable series include Arkipelag, Stub, Ship’s Glass, and Carnaby, each showcasing his instinct for combining simple silhouettes with subtle shifts in weight and colour.

The company’s mid-century output, particularly under Per Lütken’s artistic direction, is characterised by sculptural forms, subtle colour gradients, and a deep respect for the properties of molten glass.
