Sebastian Holmbäck has had long-term relationships with strong Danish and international brands and created products with a cultural influence. And his understanding of the complexity of bridging aesthetics, people, costs and manufacturing to create successful solutions and products has gained him numerous international design awards – including several Red Dot Awards, the Formland Design Award 2011, and Designer of the Year in 2013.

The goal for Sebastian Holmbäck when designing is always to challenge and develop a brand’s core identity and to bring meaningful content to the world. An example of this approach can be seen in Holmbäck's ARC collection for Holmegaard, demonstrating how using a contrasting look could create an innovative design that reflects the essence of Holmegaard’s classic design history.

Sebastian Holmbäck sees the vase as one of the fundamental items in people's basic library of furniture and objects – in line with the table, chair and knife. In Sebastian Holmbäck’s design look, the vase is basically about something as simple as a series of reflections over a profile twisted around an axis. A geometric object that can vary infinitely depending on materials, patterns and colours.

The combination of a beautiful design line and Holmegaard’s unparalleled glass craftsmanship means that ARC stands out as a state-of-the-art reinterpretation, where the soft lines from the base and top meet in beautiful balance and create the curved shape.
