Vivai del Sud Vitrines

Italian

Combining the opulence of Italian Baroque art, the grandeur of Roman classicism and the clean sophistication of mid-century modernism, Vivai del Sud’s designs have an utterly recognizable look. Carefully crafted, limited edition floor mirrors, credenzas, sofas and other pieces echo the elegance of Hollywood Regency style while incorporating playful inspiration from the design team’s Italian heritage.

Brothers Giorgio, Gianfranco and Piero di Pierri founded Vivai del Sud in Rome in 1950. Established first as a landscape design firm, its early work included designing modern winter gardens throughout Italy as well as restoring historic parks. Building on this success, Vivai del Sud expanded in 1970 with a new focus on interior decoration and furniture design.

Originally from the Italian region of Puglia, the brothers were inspired by Italian Baroque artists and Roman architecture, using classical themes and mythological motifs in their furniture designs. Vivai del Sud built an international audience for its inimitable pieces, opening branches in Italy, France, Germany, the United Arab Emirates and West Africa.  

Vivai del Sud later added architectural design to its practice, designing luxury hotels as well as residential buildings. The company has also published magazines and books of poetry.

Vivai del Sud’s work has garnered international acclaim, with features in Domus, Casa Vogue and other major publications.

Pressed Bamboo Chest of Drawers by Southern Nurseries, 1970
By Vivai del Sud
Located in Conversano, IT
Exceptional four-drawer chest by Vivai del Sud, the iconic Italian atelier known for its use of natural materials and a refined, exotic style, particularly active between the 1960s and 1980s. This piece perfectly embodies the brand's sophisticated and Mediterranean aesthetic. The structure is entirely clad in pressed bamboo arranged in a herringbone pattern, a detail that adds visual rhythm and depth to the surface. The geometric motif extends seamlessly across all visible sides--front, top, and sides--showingcasing outstanding craftsmanship. The four drawers, equal in height, run on wooden glides and are fitted with pairs of patinated brass knobs. The cylindrical handles add an elegant and discreet accent that doesn't disrupt the harmony of the overall design. The chest is in excellent structural condition, with a warm and natural patina that highlights the quality of the material and its age. Minor traces of wear may be present, consistent with the piece's authenticity and history. A highly characterful piece, ideal for both modernist interiors and boho-chic, tropical, or eclectic settings. A rare example of Vivai del Sud's production, increasingly sought after by collectors and lovers of 20th-century Italian design.
