Over forty years their work has developed its own distinctive signature. Based in Italian cold-working "battuto" techniques. Combined with the Swedish overlay process. Considered pioneers they have distinctively adapted these techniques to create works that embody color, light, texture, pattern, and form. They have also partnered to create works for Rosenthal Germany, Steuben USA, and Venini Venice. Their work is in the permanent collections of over forty museums world wide. In addition they have staged several major installations and exhibitions in public spaces across the job.

Nonfoux was the first Baldwin Guggisberg collection produced from 1982 - 1997 out of their Switzerland studio. This elegant pair of chargers or plates has never been used. Given as a wedding present in 1984 - they sat hidden in a box until they were recently rediscovered. Each features a range of hues from grey to taupe to brown. Each measures approximately 11.25" diameter x 1" high. Both display etched "B/G Nonfoux" marks and the year "'84" above the pontil on their reverse centers.
