What ni.va does

NIVA (NI.VA. SRL) is an Italian custom architectural and millwork manufacturer headquartered in Campodarsego (Padova), founded around 2003 and operating for over 20 years. The company designs and manufactures bespoke interiors, facades, ornamental staircases, and a proprietary line of metal surface finishes, combining industrial-grade manufacturing (5-axis CNC machining, laser cutting, V-cut bending, BIM/CAD/SolidWorks engineering) with traditional Italian craftsmanship. Core product lines are organized as Millwork, Surfaces Collection (with Standard, Special, and Frame Finishing sub-lines totaling 30+ standard finishes, 14+ special treatments, and 300+ minimal-profile frame types), Facades, and Staircases, supported by an in-house R&D department and an Industry 4.0-compliant workshop.

NIVA sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales with dedicated project managers acting as single points of contact across the project lifecycle, targeting luxury fashion retailers (Bottega Veneta, Celine, Fendi, Max Mara), high-end hospitality and fine-dining operators (Da Vittorio), and private households. Revenue is project-based and quote-based, with no public pricing; engagements range from supply-only of finished elements to full general-contractor / turnkey delivery covering design, value engineering, production, logistics, and installation. Geographic coverage spans Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.

The business is founder-managed and closely held (€60,000 declared share capital, S.r.l. structure) with no venture or private-equity backing. Differentiators cited include the proprietary Surface Collection (co-developed with Università degli Studi di Padova), a 20+ year track record with major luxury brands, ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 / ISO 3834 / UNI EN 1090 certifications, the 2024 CRIBIS Prime Company reliability certificate, and the cultural brand initiative "NIVA Meets Art" launched in 2017. Capital investment has been partially grant-funded through POR FESR 2014-2020 awards from Regione del Veneto totaling €155,346 for 5-axis CNC acquisition and the SURFACE R&D project.
