Before the Pound
Two Pound Coin
Blank pressed metals
Paused at 60%
"Until we designed the £2 coin we had no idea how the two metals were joined. This is the last moment before the two parts of the coin become permanently fixed. In one motion; they are stamped together and the impression of the design is also created" - Edward & Jay
Part of ‘In The Making’ exhibition - more than twenty objects during the manufacturing stage of their construction...curated by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, the design duo who are perhaps best known for designing the 2012 London Olympic torch.
The pair commented on the exhibition “‘We have always been fascinated by the making process as it is an integral part of our work. We have curated an exhibition that will provide a platform to capture and reveal a frozen moment in the manufacturing process and unveils an everyday object in its unfinished state. Often the object is as beautiful, if not more so, than the finished product!”
