'Ocean Open' centerpiece, greenish grey

Designer Alexa Lixfeld's glass sculptures, centerpieces and vases offer a seamless harmonization of traditional glass making techniques and a contemporary design vision. The result is a diverse family of unique items that includes 'Ocean Open', a greenish grey spherical centerpiece that is marked by various undulations, tone shifts and a series of other distinct characteristics and detailing. This is thanks to a wholly manual production process that sees each item formed from glass that is mouth-blown and sculpted and shaped freely by hand. Bubbles are part of the charm of a hand-blown piece and add character to each item.
