Rosaria Rattin

Rosaria Rattin is an Italian designer who moves between fashion and interior design. She studied architecture in Venice and then took fashion courses in Paris, and spent years working in the fashion industry before founding Kose, the Milan label whose pieces appear on this site. Kose was created to bring old craft skills into the present: vases, bowls, lamps and objects in fine clay, wood and gauze, each made entirely by hand in Italy, with the marks of making left visible. She draws all of the designs herself, and the collection has grown to include the ISI line, which carries her fashion sensibility to the table. She has also designed for Slide, including the Secret planter. Her work keeps the two halves of her career in conversation: the discipline of architecture and the lightness of fashion, in objects meant to be lived with.
