Otto Brauer

Danish
Otto Brauer (1918-1968) was a Danish glass designer who worked for the Holmegaard glass company from 1937 until his death in 1968. He is best known for his iconic "Gulvvase" (floor vase) design, which has become a classic of Danish modern design.
 
Brauer's glass designs were characterized by their clean, simple lines and modernist aesthetic. He often worked with brightly colored glass and was particularly skilled at creating interesting and unusual shapes.
 
In addition to his work as a designer, Brauer was also a respected educator and mentor. He taught at the Danish School of Decorative Art and was instrumental in training a new generation of glass designers.
 
Today, Brauer's glass designs are highly sought after by collectors and are represented in several major museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. His "Gulvvase" design is still produced by Holmegaard today, and is considered an icon of Danish design.
