Formaviva is a collective of independent designers and creatives.
We work between interiors, materials and green spaces, rediscovering old crafts, forgotten stories and the identity of places.
We believe in slow living, clear processes and accessible design.
In projects that grow from the land, respect materials and reconnect people to spaces — private, shared and communal.
From global experiences to local roots, we design with care, responsibility and vision.
MANIFESTO
Idea
For us, an idea is not simply imagination without limits.
It is the ability to translate intuition into concrete, sustainable design solutions, grounded in context, materials, and real life.
Every project begins with listening: to places, to people, to hidden stories. From there, ideas take form through clarity, feasibility, and respect for the environment and available resources.
Emotion
Emotion lives in materials, textures, colours, light, and the rhythm of space.
It emerges from the tactility of natural surfaces, the balance between empty and full, the dialogue between interior and exterior.
Emotion is essential to every project. It is what transforms a space into a lived experience, and design into something deeply human.
Target
Our work is focused on revealing and strengthening the identity of each space—whether private, shared, or communal.
Rather than imposing a signature style, we help projects express their own character, values, and purpose, creating environments that feel coherent, authentic, and rooted in place.
Style
Style is not a fixed aesthetic.
It is the result of research, observation, and dialogue between contemporary needs, historical references, craftsmanship, and material culture.
Defining a project’s style means making conscious choices: what to preserve, what to transform, and who to involve. It is a collective process shaped by collaboration with artisans, designers, and specialists.
Information
To inform originally meant to give form.
Today, it also means to communicate clearly and responsibly.
We believe in transparent processes, clear budgets, and shared understanding. Our role is to simplify complexity, guide decisions, and ensure that every step of the project is understood, intentional, and aligned with its values.
Formaviva designs spaces where slow living takes shape — thoughtfully, sustainably, and collectively.
