What Cozo does

Cozo is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand that designs, manufactures, and sells shadow-casting geometric lighting, jewelry, clothing, and limited-edition art rooted in sacred geometry. The company was founded in 2014 by HYBYCOZO installation artists Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu as the commercial arm of their large-scale geometric light installations, initially commercializing scaled versions of those sculptures via a Kickstarter campaign and subsequently expanding into a broader product line that includes table lights ($350-$450), pendant lights ($350-$625), outdoor-rated pendant lights ($550-$625), and a small jewelry and apparel assortment priced $25-$100. Core products are manufactured using laser-cut electro-plated steel with a gold finish (alongside painted steel and lightweight plywood for larger pieces) so that illuminated panels project sacred geometry patterns — including Flower of Life, Escher-inspired designs, portal nonagons, vortex spirals, dodecahedra, and mandala-based patterns — onto surrounding walls and ceilings, with claimed shadow projection up to 8 feet (2.75m). The signature technical differentiation is the precision of these shadow-casting patterns, with proprietary variants developed in collaboration with named artists including Dillon Forte, Gaelle Nasr, and Chaim Machlev. Products span 20+ distinct geometry patterns, with a long-tail of artist-proof limited editions including HYBYCOZO Satellites ($3,500-$6,500) and a Constellation piece at $12,500.

The business runs exclusively through a Shopify-powered direct-to-consumer storefront at cozo.co with a made-to-order manufacturing model and monthly batch shipping, currently restricted to US and Canada as of January 2026 after previously shipping internationally. No wholesale, marketplace, B2B, or licensing channels are evidenced. Pricing is unit-based across the range, with payment made on order and a strict no-return policy given the made-to-order nature. Customer segments are horizontal and persona-based, spanning interior design enthusiasts, the Burning Man and art-festival community, and gift buyers; no enterprise, contract, or recurring-customer relationships are present. Marketing is content-led, relying on detailed product-description storytelling about sacred geometry, organic social presence on Instagram/Pinterest/Twitter/Facebook, and an email newsletter ('Construction Zone'), with no evidence of paid acquisition infrastructure. The company is private, founder-controlled, bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, and operates with 1-10 employees.
