- Abstract
Jacob Eiler Bang (Danish, 1899-1965) was hired by Holmegaard Glassworks in 1925. In 1928, he was appointed artistic leader, and from then on, he was in charge of design at the glassworks until July 1941. Bang's legacy as a Danish glass designer is a substantial one. The glass he made for Holmegaard is known worldwide, and he is among the relatively few Danish designers to have won several prizes at world exhibitions and at the Milan Triennial. When Bang began his work at Holmegaard, he was very much influenced as a writer and designer by the ideologies and debates behind modernistic architecture and design of the interwar period. This article attempts to look, through the lens of his own writings, at Bang as a designer during a time of change, not only for Holmegaard Glassworks but also for society in the period between the two world wars.
