Vincenzo De Cotiis

Vincenzo De Cotiis was born in 1958 in Gonzaga, Italy. He studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano and founded his studio in 1997. Considered a pioneer of the contemporary collectible design scene, De Cotiis creates one-of-a-kind and limited-edition projects by hand in his atelier. Select works are available through Carpenters Workshop Gallery, an artist’s gallery in Milan, and at leading global design fairs.

As an architect De Cotiis creates sculptural spaces that evoke physical and intellectual experiences on the cusp of art and architecture, defying traditional categorisation between artistic disciplines. A fertile dialogue between the old and the new is a cornerstone of his work; history breaks free into spaces where the line between past and future blends. Vincenzo De Cotiis seeks 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. A form of art and design that is not replicable. His work represents a winding path that often doubles back upon itself, one fuelled by parallelisms of space and time, cultural layering and quantum leaps. A process imperceptible to reason and intellect yet manifested through the materiality of his countless works.
