Vivai del Sud is a historic brand of Italian design founded in Rome in the 1950s by the brothers Giorgio, Gianfranco and Piero Di Pierri, originally from Puglia. Initially born as a studio specializing in landscape design and restoration of historic gardens and parks, the brand has evolved over the decades to become a point of reference in the field of interior design as well. Since the 1970s, Vivai del Sud has started producing handcrafted furniture and furnishings with a sophisticated and exotic taste, blending Mediterranean elegance with colonial and oriental influences. Their pieces stand out for their refined use of natural materials such as cane, bamboo, rattan, glass, lacquered wood and brass, often handcrafted into organic and scenic shapes that recall nature, tropical architecture and the traditional craftsmanship of Southern Italy. The company’s stylistic code is strongly decorative, but always measured and cultured, with a visual language capable of dialoguing with both European modernism and more exotic and narrative atmospheres. Today, Vivai del Sud furniture is highly appreciated on the international vintage design and collectibles market, especially for its originality, executive quality and unrepeatability, making it iconic pieces of great charm and value.
