Vincenzo De Cotiis presents the Crossing Over collection at Carpenters Workshop located in Los Angeles, California. It focuses on cultural contamination, cross-pollination, and displacement concepts -- this is translated through a range of dark monochrome and organic structures shown in its raw expression. The series of home furniture is comprised of seating, tables, a cifferobe, lighting, and wall-mounted cabinets.
These strike a balanced look as research was performed and then backed by experimentation throughout the construction process to ensure the materials could all harmoniously coexist together. Notably, the physical construction of the designs all require high levels of precision and technical capabilities. A highlight is the DDC2117 Cabinet with a black facade made with ancient materials in a juxtaposing modern design language.
