This is the first publication presenting the works of Vincenzo De Cotiis. Written by Anne Bony whom specialises in the twentieth century world of design and Joseph Grima, the British architect, critic and curator, with their combined expertise standing as an academic celebration of De Cotiis’ refined aesthetic.
“Incorporating salvaged materials into his tables, chairs, lighting fixtures, cabinets, and screens, De Cotiis’s world appears ageless and graceful. The Milanese designer developed a reputation for stripping domestic spaces and hotel projects back to their Art Nouveau, Baroque or even ancient frames, letting the natural wear of a building’s interior breathe history through inhabited space.”
Artist
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.
