COS has been focusing on sustainability for many years, not only in product changes and development, packaging and business management efforts to achieve environmental protection, but also in the use of recycled environmental materials in many stores.

The handmade brick selected for the vertical wall of the new COS store project located in Shishihui Square, Pudong New District, Shanghai, retains the natural variation of the depth of the blue glaze. The particle feeling of recycled ceramic mud under the glaze matches the blank laying in the gap, which is like the light wind and thin waves on the sea, and the boundless smoke and water. The oval surface of the inner beam adopts the transparent color of YiTile full ceramic tile series. The recycled ceramic after breaking is used as the background color of ceramic tile, presenting a sandy and granular feeling. The transparent glaze applied on its surface is like a splash of light aroused by waves, which magnifies YiTile’s retention and re-presentation of nature.
