The workshop will be held at the Design Department of Vilnius Academy of Arts and will be led by Germans Ermičs (www.germansermics.com), a renowned Latvian designer living and working in Amsterdam. For the last few years, the designer has been creating characteristic glass furniture, expressive in form and colour. Ermičs’ objects are hard to miss on social media, and his popularity has not gone unnoticed by clients such as Instagram.
ENG / Short bio:
Latvian–born Germans Ermičs maintains a design studio in Amsterdam. His recent works are refined and ethereal pieces of glass furniture and immersive installations, wielding light, space, and colour to catalyze a shift in how we perceive objects. In Ermičs’s designs, glass becomes the stage for exquisite colour treatments and experiences; soft and frosted to blur the edges of the form, ombré, to gently draw your eyes across the surface, or mirrored, to reflect and stimulate the space you occupy.
Workshop programme:

– 20–22 (Tuesday–Thursday) – intensive creative process, group discussions and
