Redwood
		This installation was the third and final of three alcove sculptures that we did for a modern office. It is the first example of a new fabrication technique that we've been playing around with for quite some time. Although the tubes are arranged in a highly ordered and deliberate pattern, they yield a very liquid and free-form distribution during a second firing in which we allow the glass to move without intervention.
		Fish Tails
		We recently completed this reworking of the Goldfish Chandelier for a residence in Sea Cliff, San Francisco. It floats above a ten person dining table and has three halogen bulbs enshrouded by blown pieces to diffuse their glare. When we first started playing around with these shapes in this particular color, we just could not help thinking of those big orange goldfish and their flowing tails.
		Apéritif Glasses
		We designed these aperitif glasses as part of a larger collection of stemware. There were about six different pieces to the set, but this was by far our favorite.
		Lot 97 Installation
		Just before the 2007 new year, we installed this piece in the entry hall of a private residence in Kona, Hawaii. With a spectacular and expansive view of the Pacific Ocean immediately behind, this installation had a very minimal and literally "natural" backdrop. Having always focused on the natural world as a source of inspiration for the work, this was a wonderful opportunity. Over the years we have been further exploring how we can transform laboratory glass into something with which to model organic forms and this time we increased the resolution of this material and its consequent plasticity. Using tubes as small as 10mm, we were able to get much more dynamic shapes that were able to invert. This was a fabrication process that started on the Gehry project in Berlin with relatively simple curved panels. Now, the glass literally rolls over itself. We will try to post additional images of this project in the near future.
		Huat Residence Installation, Singapore
		Nikolas Weinstein Studios was commissioned to create a sculpture to define the central wall of a private residence in Emerald Hill, Singapore. From a distance the work appears two-dimensional, but approaching the sculpture reveals its depth, as it reaches out from the wall to become illuminated by the skylight above. Each element sits on a stainless steel rod that bends in accordance with the height and weight of that piece.
