Duet Collection

The Duet Collection’s symmetrical balance is inspired by Isamu Noguchi’s masterworks. A piece of slumped glass is precisely split in two exploring the “presence of absence”. 

The precision milled “tuning fork” further reflects this idea of harmony and is the spine that reconnects the two beautiful pieces of glass.
