He is now best known for his "Gulvvase" (floor vase) series for Holmegaard. Designed in 1962, these vases feature bottle shapes, pop colours, and joyful expressions. They are available in five sizes: 26 cm (10.2 in), 31 cm (12.2 in), 38 cm (15.0 in), 45 cm (17.7 in), and 52 cm (20.5 in). In the early years, the bottles were only available in solid glass: olive green, brown, dark blue, and white. In 1970, they were launched with a white inner layer and a coloured outer layer: red, ruby red, turquoise, green, olive green, and yellow. Today, these vases are often adorned with a contrasting coloured ball. These balls were actually designed by Michael Bang but made in the same glassworks as the bottles.
