Vincenzo De Cotiis
Designer
Vincenzo De Cotiis was born in 1958 in Gonzaga, Italy. He studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano and founded his studio in Milan where he lives and works. His 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. Vincenzo 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.
Exhibited at DESIGN MIAMI. 2023 Vincenzo de Cotiis' approach to all his work is painterly, expressing hand-shaped processes on the surface of his artworks. This is seen in his fiberglass artworks, pure compositions of geometric forms, and monochrome chromaticism, such as in the DC1908B dining table, in a unique chocolate color, from his Crossing Over collection. Materials: Hand-Painted Fiberglass.
