During Milan Design Week, KRASSKY Gallery hosted a private reception in the Milan residence of Vincenzo De Cotiis, located in the historic Palazzo Belgioioso—one of the most significant addresses in the world of functional art.
The evening unfolded in an intimate setting, offering guests a rare opportunity to experience the artist’s work within his own environment, beyond the conventional exhibition format. De Cotiis’ apartment revealed itself as a natural extension of his artistic language—a space where architecture, material, and object exist as a unified composition.
Signature elements of his practice—patinated surfaces, layered textures, bronze, glass, and reflective materials—create a complex, multi-dimensional environment defined by depth and nuance. Each piece operates not in isolation, but as part of a larger spatial narrative, where the focus shifts from individual form to the interaction of material, light, and time.
Light and reflection play a central role, shaping a living, almost cinematic atmosphere in which objects are perceived as architectural sculptures rather than standalone design pieces. This immersive context allows for a deeper understanding of De Cotiis’ work—positioned at the intersection of art, architecture, and collectible design.
The reception offered a rare insight into the artist’s practice in its most authentic form—within a space where the boundaries between art, design, and architecture dissolve, and the interior itself becomes a total work of art.
