The items that compose the block series have all been made using a glass casting method inspired by the well-known lost-wax technique. Instead of using wax (cast from a mould, itselfcast off a master piece), each piece has been made and assembled by hand using expandedpolystyrene (EPS) board as base material. Plaster moulds were made from these EPS forms, and then burnt. Hot glass was then transferred into these moulds. Subsequently, each piece resulting from this process is unique. Such a technique allows to cast the EPS in glass, whilstretaining the exceptionally fine details that form the surface texture of the original EPS board,itself originating from another moulding process of the chemical polymer industry.
