6 February 2018. I officially start talking about Salone del Mobile 2018. I think I have never started so early in 4 years of blogging … there is always a first time.
The long-awaited news came out these days: the American artist Phillip K. Smith III will sign COS’s project for the Milan Design Week.
The Swedish COS brand began its participation at the Milan Fuorisalone in 2012, with unmissable installations signed by great international artists and designers.
Here are the six installations.
Studio Swineper x COS | Milano Design Week 2017
Sou Fujimoto x COS | Milano Design Week 2016
Snarkitecture x COS | Milano Design Week 2015
Nendo x COS | Milano Design Week 2014
Bonsoir Paris x COS | Milano Design Week 2013
Gary Card x COS | Milano Design Week 2012
Phillip K. Smith III x COS | Milano Design Week 2018
From 17 to 22 April 2018, in the courtyard of Palazzo Isimbardi in Corso Monforte, Phillip K. Smith III will propose a work inspired by Italian Renaissance architecture and the Milanese sky in a minimal perspective typical of the COS brand.
For the first time COS moves outdoors during the Salone del Mobile: the expectation is certainly very high, but I imagine that the American artist will not disappoint.
“My work is created in direct response to the surrounding environment, becoming a canvas that interacts with the urban and natural landscape and allowing the visitor a completely individual experience,” Smith said during the presentation of the project.
