These gorgeous vase coffee tables are created by Hamburg design studio Alexa Lixfeld. They are made in the Czech Republic where traditionally glass blowers used shapes oak molds. Struck by the beauty of the oak wood against the glass, instead of ordinarily discarding the molds Alexa decided to incorporate them into the product.
Alexa Lixfeld explains:
“Upcycling and working with existing forms 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.”
