Our story
COSY Design is a company in the HOFICA Group which can trace its roots back to 1982 into the heart of the Mauges, a region long renowned for its expertise in fashion and luxury goods.
Traditionally focused on footwear, the group opened up to luxury leather goods at the beginning of the 2000’s. Using our expertise in leather goods and our extensive technical experience, in 2013 the group began to collaborate with some of the biggest names in the nautical industry to improve the existing upholstery, comfort, and decorative products available on the market. This business was developed into a fully-fledged subsidiary in 2016, marking the beginning of the COSY Design adventure.
Ever since, our Maine-et-Loire workshop has housed some fifty employees of the company. Our products are made locally, reflecting our commitment to French industry and craftsmanship.
Experts in sailing and yachting, we have also expanded into the field of fittings, luxury goods, leisure activities, and aeronautics, allowing us to meet the needs of our partners: interior fitters, architects, designers in France and abroad, industrial groups, and more.
