Hemi's Fars glas drinking delights with its robust design. The name of the glass is Swedish for "father's glass" – and the father of glass art was the artist and sculptor Erik Höglund, who designed the Fars glas glass! The Swedish designer originally created the beautiful glass for Kosta Boda in 1969, and now decades later Fars glas is part of the Danish company Hem's range. Unconventional and once breaking the design world's glass ceilings with its shape, the drinking glass provides an excellent vessel for wine in particular, but the timeless look of the classic glass also suits more casual table settings. The package includes two drinking glasses.

Designer
Erik Höglund (1932–1998) was a Swedish designer and sculptor who transformed glassmaking with his bold and expressive style. Studying at the National School of Arts, he broke away from traditional glass design by mixing raw textures, playful motifs and a distinctive sculptural quality. His collaboration with Boda Glassworks (now known as Kosta Boda) in the 1950s established him as a leader in modern glass artistry. Höglund’s works continue to be celebrated for their innovative use of materials and timeless appeal, making him a key figure in Scandinavian design history.
