Future Vase

The Future Vase project represents a turning point in Patrik Illo’s artistic research, marking the transition from industrial efficiency to an independent studio practice. Rather than adhering to established rules, the artist investigates the productive structure of glass through experimentation. By intentionally reorganizing, duplicating, and combining traditional technological processes, he moves beyond the limits of industrial production to explore new and authentic artistic approaches within studio design.
