Mr. Anuvat Chalermchai, COTTO Brand Director, SCG Cement-Building Materials Co., Ltd. said: “After the success of the Patchwork collection by Piero Lissoni two years ago, grossing more than 10 million baht of sales yearly, COTTO has plans to introduce other global collaborations to cater to the high-end market, in which customers demand world-class designs as well as functions that serve their modern lifestyles.”

This year, COTTO has collaborated with Jacob Jensen Design, a world renowned design studio from Denmark. The SKIVE Collection is the embodiment of Scandinavian design philosophy, blending functions and emotions perfectly. Simplistic, modern, and outstanding designs and shapes portray the beauty of nature. Using consumer insights and high technology, the new collection offers functions such as a touch screen water temperature control and several others, serving lifestyle needs of modern families under the concept “Human-Centric Innovation” and SCG’s “Passion for Better Living.”

The SKIVE Collection by Jacob Jensen Design comprises wash basins, faucets, sanitary ware, and wall shower sets, inspired by nature and reflecting juxtapositions of distance and nearness, darkness and light, order and disorder, cold and warmth, which all coexist harmoniously in nature. It is the core of modern Scandinavian designs. With more than half a century of experience, Jacob Jensen Design has won the most coveted design awards in Scandinavia. COTTO also has plans in the pipeline to work with other globally renowned designers to offer more choices that serve the demands of consumers.
