Our Manifesto: the story of when CO met VI
COOVI was born from the convergence of two distinct paths, shaped by experiences in parallel worlds: architecture, interior design, art, and craftsmanship. It is through the sharing of these experiences that a common, cross-disciplinary vision emerged—one that unites diverse languages and skills into a cohesive project. At the core of COOVI’s philosophy lies the belief that the best results stem from continuous dialogue. Engagement with clients, collaborators, and artisans is not merely an operational step, but the beating heart of every project—fueling mutual growth. For COOVI, multidisciplinarity is not just an approach, but a powerful generator of relationships, memories, and meaning—sometimes fleeting, sometimes recurring, but always valuable. Each project is seen as a unicum—a unique opportunity to explore new perspectives and foster growth. A space conceived in this way becomes more than just functional—it becomes a living testimony to a complex, shared journey. Differences and contrasts are not limits, but opportunities: sources of innovation and unexpected beauty.
Since 2017, COOVI has operated as a General Contractor in constant growth, active both nationally and internationally. The company designs and delivers stores, boutiques for major brands, residential spaces, offices, and retail environments, offering turnkey solutions supported by a solid, flexible, and integrated organizational structure.
Choosing COOVI means placing trust in a partner capable of ensuring reliable timelines, thanks to an efficient and well-coordinated internal supply chain. It means benefiting from precise cost control, made possible by a transparent management approach and by the use of loyal, carefully selected resources—both in-house and external. It also means relying on a high standard of design and construction quality, supported by solid technical know-how and extensive, hands-on experience in managing complex projects. COOVI supports clients through every phase, from concept to completion, with the same care and precision—regardless of the project’s scale. Each work is an opportunity to create something unique, lasting, and deeply meaningful.
