MATERIA visited México City-based designer and artist, Brian Thoreen in his light-filled live work studio in San Miguel Chapultepec. The designer is involved in some of México’s most important curatorial projects such as nomadic gallery MASA and VISSIO. As a designer he pushes the boundaries of whatever limits are intrinsic to the materials he works with—whether hand-blown glass, industrial rubber sheets, wax or hand-hammered copper.

Thoreen talks to Sarah Len, MATERIA’s Editor-in-Chief about his ambitions for the future, one of the greatest myths of the art world and intention above all else.
