Fashion brand COS turns 10 this year, and to celebrate it is releasing a capsule collection of 10 pieces inspired by Japanese silhouettes.
The pattern of the garments in the 10th-anniversary collection has been designed like a jigsaw, with the shape of one determining the shape of another.
The pieces fit together on the fabric from which they are cut, utilising the full width of the material and limiting any excess.
Creative director Karin Gustafsson said that this method would be something COS looked to use in the future, describing the process as “efficient and forward-thinking”.
“The design team took the opportunity to play and experiment in the pattern-cutting process, reimagining the methods behind the design,” she said.
“The pattern-cutters and designers worked in parallel, referencing historical techniques that maximised the use of materials,” she continued. “As we look to the future we will continue to focus on the efficient use of fabrics and forward-thinking techniques.”
The silhouettes seen throughout the men’s, women’s and children’s capsule collections were inspired by Japanese shapes. This is most apparent in a square-cut men’s top and a women’s coat featuring kimono-style sleeves.
Soft double-layered panels were used for a long-length shirt dress, while a men’s technical jacket is equipped with functional double pockets.
Each piece in the collection will be made from lightweight cotton and technical polyester in a pared-back palette of sand and white.
COS opened its first store in 2007 on London’s Regent Street. A firm favourite with the creative set – it has aligned itself closely with the design world over the last few years, presenting installations during Milan Design Week and hiring cutting-edge architects for popups and permanent stores.
It even teamed up with Danish design brand Hay earlier this year to launch homeware and outdoor furniture ranges.
As with the previous structures, Invisible Studio-founder Piers Taylor recruited a team of unskilled volunteers and friends to help build the workshop, which was completed in under two weeks.
“We enlisted the same group of originally unskilled neighbours in my valley who over the course of a number of projects we’ve done here at Invisible Studio have developed really good carpentry skills,” Taylor told Dezeen.
“They include my retired neighbour Alan Matthews, his digger driver brother Cuffer, their friend Bernard Twist and our woodsman Simon Schofield who is also a trapeze artist.”
The team produced just a few drawings before construction started, leaving much of the design to be determined during the build, but the architects chose the materials and form to reference local agricultural sheds.
The structure is made from unseasoned spruce timber and its mono-pitched roof tilts upwards to create an opening at the front for large models to be moved in and out.
Impact-resistant fibreglass clads the walls, allowing plenty of natural light inside and revealing the wooden structure on the outside, while corrugated steel forms the roof.
As well as providing shelter for full-scale test structures, the pavilion will also host the studio’s design-and-make workshops. This includes the annual Studio in the Woods, where groups of students test ideas through making at 1:1 scale.
Dezeen promotion:Jaime Hayon‘s popular Showtime furniture collection, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, is now available from Spanish brand BD Barcelona Design in new materials and fabrics.
Spanish designer Jaime Hayon first launched the bestselling Showtime range in 2006, aiming to create furniture reminiscent of MGM musicals, and continued adding new pieces to the collection until 2010.
BD Barcelona relaunched the Showtime collection in 2016, with new finishes for the Multileg Cabinet and the Showtime Vases
BD Barcelona relaunched the collection in 2016 to mark its 10th anniversary, offering the Multileg Cabinet, the Showtime Vases, and the Showtime Poltronas in new finishes.
For Milan design week 2017, the brand is relaunching even more of the collection. The Showtime Nude Chair, the Lounger and the Low Lounger will be available a wider range of materials, including ash wood, leather and colourful fabrics.
For 2017, the Showtime Chair is now available in a more basic form, with a seat cushion and no other upholstery
The Showtime Chair, which was first unveiled in 2007, is a customisable seat with scooped sides attached to a curved backrest and armrests.
The new version is a simple reinvention. Intended to be sold with a seat cushion and no other upholstery, it has been renamed Showtime Nude Chair.
It is available in natural or stained ash
It is available in natural or stained ash, leathers from the brand’s Panama, Florida and Vintage collections, and various fabric colours.
New versions of the Lounger and the Low Lounger, which followed the release of the Showtime Chair, come in the same range of materials, as well as fabrics from textile brand Gabriel.
The Lounger comes in a new range of materials too, including leathers from the Panama, Florida and Vintage collections, and various fabric colours
“The Showtime Collection changed completely the perception of BD Barcelona Design in the international markets,” explained Jordi Arnau, general manager of BD Barcelona Design.
“It has become our top seller collection worldwide, and it has raised interest, and attracted many customers and retailers that before were not interested in selling our products,” he continued.
“Many architects and designers have told us that Jaime Hayon’s designs combine perfectly well with the ones from Salvador Dali or Antoni Gaudi, also produced by BD.”
BD Barcelona Design has also relaunched the Low Lounger
BD Barcelona’s prestigious back catalogue also features designs from the Campana brothers, Ettore Sottsass and Doshi Levien. Earlier this year, the brand launched the REmix project in a bid to combat wastefulness in the design industry.
Hayon, who is known for his playful approach to design, has also collaborated with the brand to design a monkey-shaped table.
