Serpentine Galleries Park Nights Yields Delightful Results

Swedish brand COS continues its partnership with London’s Serpentine Galleries by supporting (for the third year) their Serpentine Galleries 2015 Park Nights, a program of live events including art, performance, theater, film, and poetry. The various events happen on selected Friday nights throughout the summer in a polygonal, tent-like pavilion designed by Madrid-based architects SelgasCano.

The vibrant structure stretches out in different directions creating separate entrances and corridors. The colorful skin is made from translucent, multi-colored fabric panels that are woven and wrapped in webbing to give it a stained glass like appearance.

The partnership also yielded a limited edition backpack designed for both men and women. Made of a soft canvas that’s finished with leather trim, the modern bag is both functional and stylish. Proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Serpentine Trust.
