To celebrate the opening of their first store in Basel, Switzerland, coinciding with Art Basel this June 2018, COS displayed Julie & Jesse’s Fragment(s) installation in their window.
A conversation on reinvention – to celebrate the opening of their pop-store on Queen’s Road, COS held a panel discussion on Friday 9th March with guest speakers Marisa Yiu, Julie & Jesse, Aric Chen, Joyce Wang and Rodrigo Buelvas, based on the concept of ‘reinvention.’
Here are some of the images taken during the talk.
Our Fragment(s) vase was exhibited alongside Yuet Tong’s hand painted porcelain at the GREAT Festival of Innovation that took place at Asia Society. The showcase was a preview for London Craft Week 2019.
For the last edition of Confluence • 20+ we unveiled our their latest experimental porcelain projects called “Déshabillé” and “Clay Bodies”.
We also created an interactive installation transforming part of the display into a live ceramic studio in which we produced a unique edition of our Fragment(s) project, casting discarded moulds brought directly from the factories of Jingdezhen, China.
The exhibition ran from the 13th of October to the 4th of November 2017 at the Chicago Design Museum. Here are a few images of the show.
