Cada Cosa Design is an exploration into the philosophy of considered living, where every detail is meticulously considered and every space is crafted to evoke a profound sense of place. Founded by London-based interior designer Barbara Chavez, the name 'Cada Cosa' — Spanish for 'each thing' — precisely captures Barbara’s approach: discerning the inherent meaning and purpose within every element to shape environments that resonate with unique narratives.
Barbara's journey into interior design stems from a lifelong fascination with the interplay of objects, light, texture, and volume within a space. She believes that thoughtful design possesses an inherent power to transform not just a dwelling, but the very essence of how one experiences daily life. It is about curating environments that support serene rhythms, ignite the spirit, and foster a deep sense of comfort and belonging. Her process cultivates designs that are intuitive, subtly beautiful, and deeply personal. Drawing inspiration from a diverse tapestry of influences—be it global travel, evocative art, the quietude of nature, or the integrity of architecture—she crafts truly singular spaces.
CONSIDERED: Bringing the soul and history of a building, space, or object, together with its surrounding environment and the individual.
TIMELESS: Longevity is at the core of our design process. A focus on craftsmanship, quality, and the juxtaposition between old and new is key.
EMOTIVE: We believe good design should be felt as well as seen and aim to create spaces that foster the well-being of people who will experience them.
TACTILE: Driven by beauty and inspired by nature. Always looking for opportunities to bring natural materials, warmth and texture into the spaces we design.
INTENTIONAL: Each detail thoughtfully and purposefully chosen to create harmony throughout.
