The Franz Mayer Museum and Nouvel present InVisible. Glass Design, an exhibition of over 500 glass pieces that offers a precise look at the technical, formal and stylistic possibilities of glass, one of this fascinating material.
Tuux designed the entire exhibition and fabricated the furniture, stands, and other display elements, ensuring that the presentation not only highlighted the beauty and intricacy of the glass pieces but also created an immersive and cohesive environment for visitors to fully appreciate the exhibit.
Visitors had the chance to see pieces created by Jan Hendrix, Perla Valtierra, Edgar Orlaineta, Julie Richoz, Mauricio Lara, Brian Thoreen and Frida Escobedo, among many other outstanding designers.
InVisible. Glass Design, an exhibition curated by Tuux Co-founder Emiliano Godoy, explores the production of Nouvel, Grupo Pavisa and Vissio, and offers a precise look at the material, technical and formal possibilities of glass, one of our environment's most fascinating materials.
Arranged around four thematic sections—Diversity and Excellence; Innovation and Technology; Form and Beauty; "And everything for a seed”—the exhibition examines the wide range of possibilities and solutions produced throughout Grupo Pavisa's almost seven decades of experience, and Nouvel's own 25-year history: patterns, forms and silhouettes, recognizable from our everyday life, ranging from vases, perfume bottles, tableware and tequila bottles to glasses, shot glasses or ashtrays, but arranged in such a way that what emerges in the face of this diversity is the formal will and rationality of a design that begins with an understanding of the possibilities of a complex yet surprising material.
