Højholm-Design was founded in 1957
by Per Henning Højholm, who at that
time was studying medicine.
The first figure he made was a small chubby
angel meant as a Christmas present for
family and friends.
Decorating this figure Per Højholm was
inspired by his fascination of old frescos.
The angel and other figures became a
success and Per Højholm therefore decided
to put his studies on hold and devote himself
to art design. He moved to Bogense, in the
northern part of Funen, with his wife and
their four children to fulfil his dreams.
Per Højholm died in 1974 and since his
death the firm has had various owners.
Today the firm has been taken over by the
youngest of the four children
Ellen Kirstine Højholm.
