Annotation:

„Patrik Illo and Aleksandra Stencel are among Slovakia's top designers. Their work is well known in other European countries. Patrik Illo is also a freelance artist - conceptually working not only with glass, a respected university glass teacher, organiser, and curator of exhibitions and symposia. Illo and Stencel work together - within the ILLOLA design studio and also independently, designing externally for well-known Slovak, Czech, and Polish glass brands. They complement, inspire, and motivate each other. They are partners and competitors at the same time, kindred spirits in their personal and professional lives.... Their design is not shallow or flashy, but well thought out, often spare; modest, yet effective. They are also no strangers to the aesthetics of contrast, as they like to successfully combine modernist and post-modern creative principles in one object. That is why their design work is a joy not only to exhibit but also to use."
