shaped by hand
IIlona is entirely shaped by hand.
Each piece is touched by heat, fire and the human hand, resulting in a fluid and unique shape from heavy glass.
density
Characteristic for this piece is a heavy layer of clear glass on the base, while the colour is trapped on the inside.
This creates beautiful optical effects.
Annealing
Due to the weight on the glass, the pieces need to be cooled down for a long time in an annealing oven, ensuring there is no stress in the glass.
