"In the middle of the pandemic, I relocated from London to LA to grow my business in creating and curating one-of-a-kind tableware," says Cosima Swayze, the vibrant founder of Cosima Interiors. This daring move mirrors Swayze's audacious approach to her craft: forging the perfect fusion of design and dining.
“I'm infusing my European knowledge of design into California living, bringing a fresh perspective to a city full of beauty and life."
Having spent the past three years meticulously translating clients' needs into unique table settings, Swayze has worked with top-tier interior designers, curated for the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel and created bespoke banquet china for The Maybourne. Her exceptional attention to detail and relentless pursuit of beauty have seen her creations grace the tables of some of the world's most renowned venues.
Running her company single-handedly, Swayze revels in the intricacies of her process, from design and negotiation to factory visits and finalizing products. "I source artisans from all over the world to create unique tableware. It's a rewarding process to see my vision come to life on the tables of such esteemed locations."
Perhaps Swayze's greatest achievement is the imprint she's making on California living.
