Today we’d like to introduce you to Uri Davillier.
Using the finest materials, Neptune Glassworks combines handmade craftsmanship with cutting-edge technologies to create timeless designs.
With a background in both Engineering and Fine Arts, Uri began Neptune Glassworks in 2000 with the goal of building a brand that exemplifies thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail.
Trained in glass, ceramics, and sculpture, Uri has honed his craft over the last decade and continues to produce both functional designs, as well as sculptural pieces.
He has worked and taught in studios across the United States, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. Now based in downtown Los Angeles, Uri has assembled a team of artists, designers, and fabricators to help render his vision.
Together they are producing innovative designs that are a reflection of the murky line that has always existed between art and technology.
Both organic and highly ordered, Neptune Glassworks’ designs seek to challenge the false dichotomies of logic and free-association; masculine and feminine; transparent and opaque; old and new.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
This journey has been full of challenges. The decision to following my bliss was unavoidable but it has not been an easy road.
It is has been filled with self-doubt, miscalculations and nearly career ending decisions. Choosing to live my life as a creative entrepreneur has been fraught with difficult decisions that have tested every skill I have. Nonetheless, I would not have traded a safe life for the one I am living.
