The glass elements are mouth-blown and handmade in the Czech Republic. And the wooden molds normally give the glass their shape, but Alexa combined these two elements:
“I was struck by the relationship that grows during production between these beautiful oak molds and the hot glass, each leaving its mark on the other,“ says Lixfeld. “Working with existing shapes has always been a point of interest to me. These molds, just fuel for the kilns after they were discarded, had a beauty of their own, which is never seen. Keeping the glass pieces and their molds together once the production was over offered me an opportunity to put that beauty on display. It also provided a much greater tension to the glass, because of the contrast in texture between its shiny and colorful skin and the worn out appearan- ce of the mold. It equally gave me the opportunity to show the process that led to the finalized product. Alexa`s productions have always been non-industrial, away from the standard and norm. GlassWood is no exception: each duo comes a perfect couple, with a unique identity. I re- use an old mold to serve as a base for one glass object. It creates a unique mold-glass combina- tion, and you cannot have the same coupling twice.”
