In 1978, Philip Vourvoulis was a young potter and glass artist, living in Venice, CA, when he was asked to restore the original Lalique glass installations in the iconic 1928 Oviatt Building in downtown Los Angeles. What began as a chance opportunity set off a life-long passion for architectural glass. Over the following decades, Philip established himself as a leading expert for decorative glass, both, interior and exterior. With his extensive experience in design and manufacturing, he has developed a close working relationship with many architects, designers and artists, as demonstrated on a wide variety of projects, from museums, public art, hospitals and hotels to high-end residential structures.
Philip’s reputation in the architectural and glass world is rooting in a strong emphasis on R&D of new techniques and designs, as well as his unique ability to envision and implement unusual concepts. As an art school graduate, Philip combines a technical understanding of complex glass treatments with the sensibility of the designer. Always the visionary, he loves to explore unknown territory and excels at working with new ideas and innovative concepts.
When Philip isn’t helping his clients, he is usually found in his art studio at home in Washougal, WA, where lately he’s been focusing on mixed media installations. To find out more about Philip’s art please check out http://philipvourvoulis.com
