FFxAED is the working collaboration between MassArt Alumni, NY based designers Molly Burke of Fleetwood Floral, and Alix Davis of AED.

Together we combined a mutual passion for flowers and craft, with an irrefutable desire to shift our creative process in a more sustainable direction.

We’re inspired by moving away from mass produced vessels, towards locally-sourced handmade products. Each piece in our collection is individually made by us, from the furnaces and kilns of NYC glassblowing and ceramic studio.

Molly and I met at first by chance, in a glassblowing class at our alma mater MassArt, then again by fate when Molly moved down the street from where I live in Sunnyside, NY. Pretty quickly after becoming neighbors, we found ourselves talking a lot about what we do: arranging flowers, and making vessels. It became clear to both of us that we could work together by making vessels for Molly’s flowers to live in that were thoughtfully crafted specifically to a florist’s needs, and then partner together to create larger scale installations and events.
