COG (sounds like vogue) is a collection of sculptural adornments for self and space, created for those who value thoughtful craftsmanship, material integrity, and timeless design.
Founded in 2018 by designer Jen Cogliantry, the brand draws inspiration from textile design, sculpture, the natural world, and the work of artists such as Alexander Calder, Sheila Hicks, and Eva Hesse. Each piece is shaped with intention, balancing structure and fluidity, minimalism and intricate detail, allowing it to become part of the wearer’s or collector’s personal story.
At the heart of CŌG is alchemy—an ever-evolving transformation of materials. Wearable pieces often begin as textile-based forms, meticulously composed from cotton threads or clay, before being forged in metal using the lost wax cast method. Meanwhile, wall works emerge from two-dimensional weavings and raw materials to become sculptural objects that emanate a sense of quiet endurance. This interplay between softness and solidity, the ephemeral and the enduring, is central to the work. What remains constant is a commitment to material integrity—elemental and alloyed metals, unbleached fibers, renewable leathers, fine polymer clays, and semi-precious gems such as freshwater pearls. Each piece thus carries both weight and presence.
With sustainability at its core, CŌG prioritizes ethical production and responsible choices. Many designs are cast in recycled brass, 14K gold, or 925 sterling silver, reducing waste without compromising quality. Collaborating with skilled artisans in New York, the work embraces both heritage techniques and modern innovation, ensuring that every creation bears the imprint of the hands that made it.
Designed for those who seek objects with depth and presence, CŌG offers pieces that invite interaction—tactile extensions of self-expression and connection. More than just accoutrements, they are lasting forms meant to be worn, displayed, and treasured, carrying forward the stories of those who choose them.
