The creation of these glasses involves an innovative and experimental approach. By utilizing natural materials like stones and ceramics, the team is able to mold the glass into unique, rough, and organic shapes. This method results in a fascinating interplay of textures and forms, making each glass not just a vessel for champagne but a conversation piece in its own right. Aleksandra’s hand-blown glass, a pivotal component of her personal project – Szkło – intertwines with Lindsey’s metalwork, embellished with stones in varying shapes, types, and hues. This fusion stems from a continuous dialogue between the artists, sometimes in person and other times across distances. The alchemy between silver and glass, both shaped through heat and melding, yields final forms that stand worlds apart – one embodying delicacy and fragility, the other embodying flexibility and resilience.

Szkło, the brand behind these creations, is defined by a passion for deconstructive design and a celebration of individuality. The process of creating each glass is a performance in itself, showcasing the skill and artistry of the glassblowers. The result is a collection that truly encapsulates the concept of ‘perfection in imperfection’ – where the irregularities and nuances of each piece are not just accepted but embraced and highlighted as markers of true craftsmanship.
