NEOL. Making of the Hero

NEOL develops CuGlide™, a copper-based lubricant technology that reduces wear between metal parts.

Great process Filip!

Is sketching part of your creative workflow or we've forgotten what it feels to be human?

Depending on the projec's scope, I normally like to explore my ideas on paper before I come up with the best solution. And no, they're not perfect. They are rough and messy, my goal is so...
