COS Collaboration
De Allegri and Fogale have created design work for COS, the London-based fashion brand known for its clean, architectural aesthetic. The collaboration sits within the studio's broader portfolio of industrial design projects, reflecting their shared interest in honest materials and refined simplicity.
Laetitia de Allegri and Matteo Fogale brought their combined expertise — blending industrial processes with fine craftsmanship — to this partnership. The project exemplifies the studio's approach: thoughtful material choices, restrained forms, and a deep respect for function.
The COS collaboration reflects the studio's long-standing commitment to pairing industrial processes with fine craftsmanship. Working with a fashion house known for its architectural sensibility, the designers approached the project with a shared vocabulary of honest materials and restrained forms. The result sits comfortably within a broader portfolio that spans sculpture, lighting, and interior elements, each piece carrying the same quiet attention to proportion and function. For the studio, this partnership was less about trend and more about alignment — two practices converging on a mutual respect for simplicity, durability, and the quiet beauty of well-made objects.
The project draws on the same principles that define much of the studio's work across its collection: a deliberate use of neutral tones, tactile surfaces, and forms that avoid unnecessary ornament. Working with a brand celebrated for its clean, modern aesthetic, the designers found natural common ground in their shared interest in material honesty. The collaboration demonstrates how industrial thinking and handcrafted sensitivity can coexist within a single object, each informing the other. It is a reminder that refined design does not require complexity — only clarity of intent and a willingness to let materials speak for themselves.
This partnership also speaks to the studio's broader philosophy of collaboration, one that values dialogue and exchange over individual authorship. By engaging with a fashion brand whose visual language is both disciplined and warm, the designers were able to explore new territory while remaining true to their own identity. The work reinforces the idea that good design transcends category — whether applied to a garment, a piece of furniture, or an interior space. In this sense, the collaboration is less an isolated commission and more a continuation of the studio's ongoing exploration of form, material, and the spaces we inhabit.
