Rigs
Hello and thank you for your interest in Avant-Garde Art Glass.
Purchasing
We sell a large amount of our glass to shops and galleries, but we do sell one of a kind and limited series pieces direct to consumers. If you would like to purchase a personal piece feel free visit our online store, email us or message us on Instagram to inquire about availability and recommendations and/or visit our retailers info page for a list of our incredible retailers. We are usually open to discuss custom creations, please contact us to discuss.
Wholesale Inquires
We are currently operating with a waitlist, if you would like to inquire about being added to the list please send us an email or message us on our Instagram. Our team is very small and the Avant-Tech is a time consuming and difficult process. Each piece takes our team of 4 a minimum of 3-4 days to complete from start to finish. Everything we make is either part of a limited run series or a one of a kind piece. What we produce and our prices will vary depending on when we make an order for you. When we get close to you on the waitlist we will reach out and let you know what we are currently offering and the pricing.
Deco 2.0 Series
Our Deco line contains 4 different styles consisting of The Mini Columnar, The Reverse Beaker, The Treeless Tree Perc and The Outside Incycler. These pieces are primarily made with German Duran glass. They are numbered and hand signed and come with Certificates of Authenticity, stickers and a hard case. Currently available in clear and worked color accent. We only made about 30 of each style of the Deco 1.0 series and will make at most 20-30 of the Deco 2.0 series before we discontinue it.
The Mini Columnar
For those on the go, we present the most simplistic style of the Avant-Tech, The Mini Columnar. It stands about 7 inches tall and has a 10mm joint. The channel through from the joint to the base of the piece, takes the place of a down-stem. It has an 8-hole diffusion perc that is plumbed through the entire circumference of the piece, making for exceptional bubble stacking. The Mini Columnar needs very little water to function perfectly. This, combined with it’s small stature makes it the perfect travel companion. The Mini Columnar features organic-esque imagery accentuating the glass’s natural tendencies with smooth curves and fine lines.
The Reverse Beaker 2.0.
For those looking for a larger travel piece, we present the Reverse Beaker. This piece stands about 7.5 inches tall and has a 14mm joint. The percolation comes from within the walls in a channel with 8-hole diffusion, that goes around the entire base of the piece. The Reverse Beaker needs very little water to stack bubbles from top to bottom with a function that only Avant-Tech can provide. The Deco 2.0 Reverse Beaker contains upgraded imagery featuring flourishing sacred geometry and a mandala focal piece on the back to represent a model for the organizational structure of life itself and the different bodies and minds who imbibe the Avant-Garde lifestyle.
Treeless Tree Perc 2.0.
This magnificent marvel of engineering is an Avant-Garde take on the classic bong, creating a new standard for straight tube function. Starting at the joint, the smoke travels directly into the walls around the imagery with an even pressure distribution to each of the 6 diffusion holes. From there the smoke then percolates into the body of the lower chamber, before traveling back into the walls through the section we call the Treeless Tree Perc. The smoke is then plumbed back into the wall through an image that traps the water in the upper section, creating the second percolation section. We’ve enhanced function by increasing chamber volume within the Tree Perc section, to eliminate any risk of siphoning issues from the first iteration. The Deco 2.0 Treeless imagery speaks for itself.
The Outside Incycler 2.0
Conceptually the most complex recycler on the market, we present the Outside Incycler. Standing about 9.5 inches tall with a 14mm joint and featuring a vortex recycler nestled within an aqueduct uptake. Starting at the joint, smoke travels into designs within the walls, percolating into the lower chamber before being pulled back into the walls of the uptake. This unique feature channels the smoke and water 360 degrees through the images in the walls, then transferring through a membrane seal into the vortex recycling chamber. Most of us tend to think of time as linear, absolute and finite, but in reality everything is cyclic. The Outside Incycler 2.0 is a timeless representation of such, with it’s retailored linear imagery and unique cyclic properties.
Elementum Line
Our newer nominal line of rigs called Elementum was released at the beginning of 2022! These high quality pieces still have the same unique Avant-Tech function within the walls, but are more simplistic in their shaping and features and do not come in hard cases or with Certificates of Authenticity. We are continuing to add more styles regularly, stay tuned or check our Instagram for updates as well as function videos.
