Her new, exclusive line, cobistyle, offers infinite options in more than 20 outstanding pieces, 33 fabrics and many leathers, exciting textures and colour values.
“It is a great pleasure to collaborate with Cobi, a wonderfully talented lady with great ideas and an engaging, effervescent personality.”

Décor-Rest has done an amazing job of listening to my thoughts and ideas and interpreting them into a line of furniture that’s going to truly stand apart. It’s got everything I believe in – a fresh, new look with timeless, classic appeal. I feel very fortunate to be able to work with experts such as Décor-Rest, who know the marketplace inside out, and yet are so open to new ideas.”
The cobistyle concept is based on creating a joyful backdrop for life at home, one brimming with colour, comfort and character, great taste that’s fun and personal.
