The COSSE luminaire is entirely made in France by the finest artisans. The ancestral know-how of upholstery is associated with a future-forward technology, particularly respectful of the environment. "A reflection of its time and contemporary issues", COSSE recently joined the prestigious collection of the Mobilier national, created in the 17th century.
“COSSE was born from the desire to confront a classic material with modern technology, in an honest and transparent approach – because committed sincerity is transmitted to the object”, explains the designer. His choice fell on a noble material, leather, and on a contemporary technology, OLED. Developed in the 1950s, it is one of the most environmentally friendly light sources, as it is directly recyclable.
In a search for the ideal shape, Ludovic Roth came up with the idea of a four-sided metal core, an aerial structure sheathed in leather with meticulous, state-of-the-art saddlery work. With COSSE, the ancestral know-how of upholstery thus meets a technology of tomorrow.
