01 / A DIFFERENT KIND OF EVERYDAY

Some objects fill a room. Others change the way it feels.

THAT’S WHERE WE BEGIN.

We turn digital curves into physical objects.
Light, texture and a little unexpected character.

own atmosphere.

A little experiment in feeling.

VLIV / HAMBURG

Curiosity.
Layer by layer.

VLIV is an independent design studio in Hamburg, exploring light, texture and the objects we share our spaces with.

We develop forms digitally and bring them into the physical world through modern manufacturing, including 3D printing. Curves and visible layers are part of the design.

Texture is part of the form.
01

Drawn as movement.

Soft curves, ribs and silhouettes are developed as digital forms rather than decoration added afterwards.

02

Built, not hidden.

The layer lines stay visible. They catch the light, create texture and become part of the object itself.

03

Made for the room.

Warm light turns a printed shell into something softer — an object that changes from day to night.

07 / YOUR NEXT OBJECT

A place in
your space.
