Højholm-Design (Bogense Trækunst) 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 fulfill 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.
