The Meaning Behind COSU
You often hear about people setting up businesses and coming up with a name instantaneously. Unfortunately, my experience was a bit more… involved. I spent years with a note tab on my phone, jotting down ideas, none of which felt right. Ultimately, I decided to create a new word that I hoped would convey the essence of the brand I envisioned. This is how I came up with Cosu Studio.
Why I Started an Eco-Friendly Interior Design Business
For eight years, I worked in luxury interior design studios across London, where 80% of my time was a constant struggle between my values and the industry norms. The role offered an exciting blend of design and project management, allowing me to delve into lighting systems, furniture design, joinery, construction, and even unexpected subjects like butterflies (I’ll be writing a blog post on that later as part of my “Behind the Scenes of Luxury London Interior Design” series).

In this series, I thought I’d share stories from my experiences in luxury interior design, though names and specific details will remain confidential.
One notable project I worked on was a palace for a royal family from the Middle East.
