About Addis VIV

The word “Addis” means “New” in the native Ethiopian language, Amharic. “New” can mean not only the birth of new ideas, but the rebirth and re-imagining of old traditions. The initials “VIV” stand for “Venus in Venice”. Its inclusion in the company’s name serves not only as an homage to our founder’s first brick and mortar store, but to the love, beauty, and prosperity that both the goddess Venus and city Venice are known for. At ADDIS VIV, we strive to create exciting new designs to enrich your home, while drawing inspiration from and honoring ancient cultures. We invite you to explore our vision.
