COS hosted a celebration of Open Sky, the brand’s collaboration with Phillip K. Smith III during Salone del Mobile 2018.

The global creative community gathered at Palazzo Isimbardi to toast the 7th consecutive COS Milan Design Week installation and enjoyed cocktails and canapés with live music from TECHNOIR and a DJ set by Andrea Ratti.

Open Sky is a large-scale sculptural installation by American artist Phillip K. Smith III, site-specific to the 16th century Palazzo Isimbardi and open to the public for the duration of Salone del Mobile until 22nd April, 2018.

Inspired by the sky above the Palazzo’s courtyard and the architecture of Milan, the installation offers visitors a unique journey and the opportunity to experience abstracted visions of light and colour taking place in the sky above, juxtaposed with the Palazzo’s architecture and garden.

COS Creative Director, Karin Gustafsson noted “This evening is about celebrating creativity and collaboration, which is exactly why COS is in Milan this week; to share our inspirations and give back to the incredible global design community.”
