VdE Tivoli 1996

A company born in Tivoli

VdE Tivoli 1996 was born in Tivoli, ancient Roman Tibur. That’s where the name comes from, the typeface too, and the habit of reinventing tradition instead of repeating it.

Origin

This year it turns thirty.

In numbers

VdE Studio

The in-house lab where shapes, colours and collections are born. Every piece is designed by the creative team, in Tivoli.

Tivoli, or Tibur

Villa d’Este added the fountains, Villa Adriana the mosaics, travertine did the rest. The name, shortened to VdE, keeps the reference and changes the pace.

Three things we believe in

Self-expression
Home is a personal narrative. We don’t impose a style: we give room to invent one.
Voice
Voice means uniqueness. Not perfection. Identity: the ease of living your imperfections as distinguishing marks.
Daily revolution
Revolution isn’t noise, it’s movement. We follow trends in order to overturn them.

«I wanted to create a one-of-a-kind collection, designed by a woman for women.»
