This ‘Modular
Element Assembled Lamp’ and ‘Irregular Shaped Coffee Table’ by Vincenzo de
Cotiis was presented at the second edition of Design
Days Dubai, a four day fair which ends today.
The lamp
is silvered brass tubing with inserted fluorescent lights and the table is a
silvered brass top, which has been manually oxidized upon a translucent
resin base.
Both are unique pieces
and capture so many emotions and ideas and at the same time create a unique
experience for those of us lucky enough to interact with them.
In
researching Vincenzo
de Cotiis, I found the description of his work on his website to be
incredibly enchanting and inspiring so instead of trying to write something new
I've summarized it here:
Vincenzo de Cotiis marries
the sense of space of an architect with the sensibility to materials of a
plastic artist. He forges pure forms by following an organic process which
allows the final product to retain traces of the process. Touch plays as
important a role as sight in the generation of structures and solutions.
Crystalline, pure lines are charged with a new energy in the counterpoint of
textures and parts. Materials are precious, raw, sometimes salvaged, always
with intense evocative power. Style results from the raw precision of the
finishes, from the unexpected associations of parts, from a choice of faded
colours that incorporate the signs and scratches of time. The De Cotiis
esthetic is all about perfect imperfection.'
