ARCHIVE EDITIONS
INSPIRED BY BAUHAUS
We’ve brought back COS classics from seasons gone by for a special capsule collection. This is your chance to rediscover iconic pieces from our archive.
To celebrate 100 years of Bauhaus, the pieces we’ve rereleased were originally inspired by the school’s philosophy. The idea that form follows function has always been at the heart of COS.

From 1919 to 1933, the Bauhaus pioneered simplicity of design within the everyday world: whether in modern architecture or a humble chair. Its life as a school was brief yet bright, as it evolved from brick-and-mortar to a movement that would echo around the world...
A shared design ethos
The belief that beauty and practicality can coexist is central to COS. We see elegance in simplicity, in designs stripped of unnecessary detail. The idea that ease of function adds to the aesthetic value of an object or garment was pioneering. This modern approach has proved timeless decade after decade, ever since the first days of the Bauhaus school.
