Tony Wurman - CEO
Statement:
Tony Wurman is the founder and artist behind Wunderwurks Design in New York City. Wurman is a classically trained industrial designer and glass blower.
A fascination of the complexities of biological structures is the keystone for Wurman's unique approach to working with materials. Using his exclusive techniques for working with polymers, Wurman has created an immense collection, that is sold all over the world. It is art and alchemy combined to yield objects with the luminescence and reflective qualities of glass, but with the resilience and flexibility of rubber.

About Our Material:
Wurman works with a specific blend of EVA hotmelt adhesive. Through proprietary techniques he has developed, Wurman transforms this common industrial material into a unique medium of extreme clarity, color and dynamic beauty. Each stunning artwork is created by hand at the Wunderwurks Studio in NYC.
EVA is Non-toxic, and is worked at low temperatures, insuring safety for our crafts-people. No waste is created during production - all unused material is 100% recycled. Scrap pieces are re-melted, dyed black and then reformed for the bases of all the vessels. Excess adhesive is even used to seal up boxes for shipping
