2B1G (2 Bars one glass) is an evolution of the precarious series which conceptually hinges on the beauty and anxiety provoked by glass balancing precariously on rectilinear metallic bases.
Through a formal interplay of rigidity with elevated fragility, the piece highlights the materials’ physical properties. In this new iteration of the series, the team has reimagined the scale of precarious with glass-hugging steel-plate bases for tabletop presentation.
2B1G much in the spirit of Vissio’s collaborative approach, pieces in the 2B1G series rely on collective participation to maintain stability. There are no fasteners or glue holding the piece’s elements together. Only the balance of forces allows the piece to be more than the sum of its parts. Each work features a glass vessel floating on a two-part hand-patinaed steel base. Pieces of the collection are limited to an edition of 20 plus 2 studio proofs.
