Experience: Graduated at the Danish School of Design; Glass ware and Ceramics in 1998. She runs her own workshop, in North Sealand, the Hagenglas workshop.

Normann product: Cognac glass

Inspiration: “I like to feel a puls around me when I work, and I need to be able to see the time limit - then I work the best. It took a while to develop the right shape of the Double Bowl. With inspiration taken in the material, an organic form was created. The molten glass creates a floating shape kept together by a sharp line which makes the Double bowl look like a cell division. This results in a sculptural form which maintains a tight simplicity whilst showing the movement of the natural glass”.

Approach: “I normally start with sketches by drawing simple lines or abstract scribbles which later results in the final design throughout selection and simplification. By developing the design I take inspiration in my sketches, as the actual technique and material often limits my creative process”.

Vision: “My vision is to create design for every day life - preferably through a glance of simplicity and play. Good design is when a product is delivered and done. It must be in a way that you would not want it any different. It’s the detail that makes the difference”.
