With SILEX, Serax returns to the discipline it

started out with over thirty years ago: glassware

for flowers. While the brand has clearly evolved

since then, it is very pleased to be able to return

to those roots with Sylvain Willenz.For Sylvain

Willenz, the design of the SILEX vases was an

important study in form. When you look at the

vases from above, they are not really cylinders,

nor are they squares. The faceted corners are

in stark contrast to the curves of the glass. “Not

an easy shape to make in glass,” says Willenz.

“It takes a lot of lung power to get the sufficient

amount of glass up against those faceted corners.

This is an additional difficulty you don’t face with

round shapes.” Another challenge is the weight

of the SILEX vases. This weight requires strong,

experienced and specialised glass blowers

who can deliver the vases in the right shape,

reminiscent of the glass battery boxes that we

once used to sort electricity cables, a shape that

has a greater purpose than merely decorative.

“By faceting the corners, you can arrange

flowers in those corners to create a surprising

composition. The two colours, amber and smoky

grey, complement each other perfectly, allowing

the user to pull out all the stops and mix different

sizes and colours at will. Refraction of light

ensures that each vase looks different from every

angle,” Willenz adds.
