Holmegaard x Mikkeller
Collaboration with the Danish beer brand Mikkeller and its founder, Mikkel Bjergsø, for the design of Holmegaard x Mikkeller series during my employment at Rosendahl Design Group. The Mikkeller series consists of three machine-blown beer glasses (IPA glass, pint glass and universal glass), launched in 2024.
Nominated for Design of the Year at the Design Awards 2024.

Holmegaard is known for creating reflections in glass for many generations. Drinking special beer is an experience, and that experience becomes even greater when the beers are enjoyed in quality glasses designed for the individual beer type, allowing all the tastes and nuances to unfold. The shape of the series is inspired by Mikkeller’s cartoon characters Henry and Sally, and if you look closely, you will discover that Henry’s hat on the side and Sally’s hair have the same soft and wavy shapes as the new beer glasses. This not only creates a direct link to Mikkeller’s visual DNA, but also gives the glasses a soft and friendly look that is nice to hold and naturally invites you to place your hand there.
