Let's Be Real

Our Core Values & Beliefs

At VIV, we believe in doing more than creating beautiful spaces—we believe in building a better world through the way we design, source, and serve. Our core values are the foundation of everything we do, guiding how we create, collaborate, and contribute. They reflect not only what we stand for as a company but who we strive to be as people: thoughtful, intentional, and inspired.

Each value below speaks to our unwavering commitment to quality, sustainability, artistry, and human connection. Together, they shape the heart of VIV and define our purpose in the world of design and beyond.

Authenticity

We are deeply passionate about beautiful design: design created through the wise use and reuse of natural materials and human creativity. This passion fuels our commitment to quality: Quality of product. Quality of service.

Quality of relationships. Quality of communications. Quality of our promises.

ARTISTRY

We support designers, artisans, craftspeople, and companies who create products from a personal vision using heritage skills.  We believe in the power of the artistic process to bring joy and harmony to everyday life.

Sustainability

We, as global citizens, understand our responsibility to move away from mindless consumerism and waste. We offer products designed in harmony with natural processes, meant to be treasured, shared, re-used, and recycled.

community

We believe that we should be, for all involved, a place of realized potential. We cannot live our lives isolated from the needs of our local community and larger society. Think “we”, not “I”.

PROFIT
We expect profit, but it must come from work that benefits society and the natural environment in which we all live. VIV is built on the principles of a triple-bottom-line company: People, Planet, Profit.
