Lehmann Maupin X Carpenters Workshop Gallery Material Space

A pioneer of contemporary collectible design, Vincenzo De Cotiis is known for merging art, architecture and design into a singular, sculptural language. Through manifestations that conflate archaic idioms with futuristic expressions, his evocative works embody a vision of design as poetic and non-replicable.

Aldo Bakker, born in the Netherlands in 1971, is a designer whose objects challenge the way we perceive and interact with the material world. Known for his bowls, pitchers, stools, spoons, and tables, Bakker creates works that blur the boundary between utility and autonomy. His practice is defined by an exquisite command of form, colour, and material, combined with an almost unsettling insistence that objects are not passive commodities but independent presences with their own integrity and character.
