Bohemian Glass Objects | Alexa Lixfeld
Alexa Lixfeld’s award winning Bohemian glass objects seem to be designed out of liquid, not solid materials. The organic, “liquid” shapes capture and reflect light in magnificent ways, which give the objects extra dimensions and enhances the difference in coloring used in the same prototype.

Bold colors such as gold or purple are counterbalanced by the delicate shapes. The objects all leave different impressions, from the appearance that their shape is random, from the perception that the self-balanced pieces have almost an algorithmic logic behind them.

Each of the glass objects is very specific, while the collection manages to be unitary. As Alexa Lixfeld describes her work, everything each of her pieces is reminiscent of a story. These particular pieces tell the story of light, color and delicacy, in a contemporary manner.
