Not only did she succeed in her dream, but over the next 175 years, Holmegaard became THE name in Danish glass ware.
In the 20th century, many of Denmark's best designers are associated with Holmegaard Glass. Each vase, candleholder or wine glass is hand blown and unique.

Why PO:?
PO:, the Danish designers, take their name from a word coined by Edward de Bono meaning an alternative way of thinking. Rather than locking themselves into existing patterns and traditions, PO: are always designing new and innovative forms.
Quadrat is a collection of more than 20 products in anodized aluminium, conceived by award-winning Designer Frank Kerdil, to reflect the way in which modern homes are decorated. This collection has many forms - from fruit bowls, to shelves, to key holders - and can be combined and used almost everywhere in the home.
Frank's bold re-imagining of the fruit bowl as a collection of 'posts' typifies their design style and innovative approach.
The best-selling Quadrat series has been expanded to include a range in beech wood, under the title of Square.
Square as a range has a warmer, softer appeal than the aluminium range and is ideal for those looking to create a feeling of warmth in their home.
