About Vivavi and Founder Josh Dorfman
Vivavi was founded in 2003 to meld modern design with environmental principles and demonstrate the possibilities for enjoying exceptional lifestyles in balance with nature. Vivavi specializes in contemporary green furniture and furnishings. Our website features the work of many of today’s leading sustainable designers based in the U.S. and Canada and has led Inc. Magazine to call Vivavi one of the top 50 businesses driving today's green revolution.
Vivavi’s founder and CEO, Josh Dorfman, is also known as The Lazy Environmentalist, having authored two books on green living and created a green national radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio. His philosophy of making green living easy, attractive and enjoyable has been adapted for television, and he is now executive producer and host of The Lazy Environmentalist television series on Sundance Channel.
Vivavi was Josh’s initial venture to help shift the way Americans think about green living and rebrand environmentalism in a 21st century context as choices that are desirable and that tangibly improve our quality of life. Vivavi does not simply showcases furniture and furnishings that are more environmentally responsible than standard choices, but rather features some of the best contemporary designs available overall in the marketplace today.
For Vivavi, green has very little to do with sacrifice and everything to do with exceptional design and healthy, non-toxic products that enhance our well-being. Vivavi's philosophy holds that green products are first and foremost products that are made of environmentally sound materials – be they FSC certified wood, recycled materials, bamboo (sourced from responsible companies like Plyboo), responsible composite materials like Kirei board, and natural fabrics such as organic cotton, wool, and linen. We also search for products that are treated with non-toxic finishes.
It is Josh’s fundamental belief that green living holds the potential to be better living. Not all green choices are created equal. Some eco-friendly choices are obviously inferior in terms of quality and design. Some, however, are extraordinary. Vivavi strives to operate at the nexus of green and extraordinary and make those choices available to you.
The Lay Environmentalist extends Vivavi's logic to nearly every aspect of our lives, touching upon everything from green building products to home solar panels to green gift ideas. We aren't just passionate about green living, we're excited about it because green innovation is happening at such a rapid pace if you know where to look, and it is those choices which will propel us toward a prosperous, abundant future in balance with nature.
