CÓS

2025​​

​

Shearing sounds of scissors and fabric, the sewing machine, the rhythmic pedal. Speeding up, sometimes slowing down.The heart almost thinks of keeping pace. Then comes the scent of steam from the iron, shaping future pockets, sleeves, waistbands. It’s not yet past six. On the radio, the rosary is halfway through, and my help is already late. But how good it was to wake up to something so familiar.

The “Cós” collection features pendants, floor, table and wall lamps. The pieces explore materials and techniques from the craft of sewing - particularly textures created by gathers and excess fabric (using recycled cotton and PET) - giving the light a nuanced softness. The brass strips mimic the gesture of a waistband (in portuguese, “cós”), an element commonly found in clothing. This lighting line emerges from the designers’ desire to revisit, in some way, their childhoods alongside their seamstress grandmothers, creating new narratives and imagery.
