On the occasion of the new edition of the Milan Design Week, COS will present an installation manufactured by digital processes and designed by the French architect Arthur Mamou-Mani together with his studio.
The pathway created will be constructed of 3D printed bio-plastic modules, generated through an open-source software that uses parametric design: an algorithmic process that ensures structural suitability and optimises material use.
A corridor will be built using bio-plastic modules printed in 3D, generated through software that uses a parametric design. An algorithmic process that ensures structural stability and optimizes the use of materials.

"At COS , we are inspired by the way Mamou-Mani’s work opens up new opportunities in design. The considered use of renewable materials and technology develop a new language which is futuristic, yet reminiscent of traditional craftmanship. Innovation inspires our work and world view and we are excited to share this pioneering project in Milan."
Karin Gustafsson, creative director of COS.
Arthur Mamou-Mani noted "Our work delves into the architect as maker and the holistic nature of design processes. I hope that the combination of distributed large-scale 3D printing with bio-materials and open-source parametric tool, will offer an insight into the future and showcase how this digital craft can have a positive impact on the world."
The installation will be open to the public from 9 - 14 April 2019 at the Palazzo Isimbardi, Corso Monforte 35, 20122 Milan, a historic building from the 16th century.
