There are 10 iterations of the Balance series, each of which has been made in a collaboration with a specialist, artisan or expert of each material. Shining a spotlight on the possibilities of each material, the design of each ‘Balance’ is more or less daring depending on what the material – glass, silver, marble, obsidian, lava stone, clay – will permit. “At the beginning [of this project] I was trying to speak about myself – but in the end I was speaking about all of the possibilities that designers have in Mexico in order to make objects, because, as you see, we have all these different materials and processes – from the artisanal to the massive, from the cheap to the expensive – and so [the Balance series is] like a catalogue of the possibilities that you can find here in Mexico.”
