He realized its potential and its mass-production character. In 1955, he became a designer for ubok. His first creations were made by the inwald company, with which he cooperated. Miloš filip's glass is characterized by geometric moderation and a cultured expression. In his creations, he uses clear lines without decoration and substantial finishes. In 1962, filip used the opposite approach in designing a vase, which, at the time, was considered a very inventive thought. He died tragically at the age of 40. Throughout his creative period, he affirmed the improvement of the creative and artistic value of glass. *** the same vase in perfect condition and yellow color is for sale in my shop.
