Vincenzo De Cotiis

Vincenzo De Cotiis is one of the pioneers of contemporary collectible design. Born in 1958 in Italy, De Cotiis lives and works in Milan. De Cotiis’ work represents a winding path that often doubles back upon itself, one fuelled by parallelisms of space and time, cultural layerings and quantum leaps. A process imperceptible to reason and intellect yet manifested through the materiality of his countless works.

Arist Biography

De Cotiis speaks of the impelling need to seek new manifestations that can conflate archaic idioms with futuristic expressions. His creations are born out of an assembly of recovered materials and reflective, futuristic surfaces and appear evocative in their final form of art and design that is not replicable.

De Cotiis’ work was presented at the Museo Franz Mayer, Mexico City, the Ca’d’Oro on the occasion of the Venice Art Biennale, and the Powerlong Art Museum in Shanghai. His installation art, Ode, will join the permanent collection of the FENIX. Museum of Migration in Rotterdam in 2025.

Selected pieces are available through Vincenzo De Cotiis Gallery in Milan, Carpenters Workshop Gallery in New York, London, and Paris, as well as at a leading global art and design fairs including Design Miami, Dubai Design Week, India Art Fair, PAD, TEFAF, The Armory Show, and Zona Maco.
